Bible in Basic English
"For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me."
— Job 23:15, Bible in Basic English
“Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him. ”
I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.
But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.
For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.
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.
