Bible in Basic English
For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.
For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.
For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face.
— Job 23:15-1964, Bible in Basic English
