King James Version
"Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:"
— Job 23:8, King James Version
“Behold, I go forward, but he is notthere; And backward, but I cannot perceive him; ”
“"If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can't find him;”
“The Inaccessibility and Power of God“If I go to the east, he is not there, and to the west, yet I do not perceive him.”
“But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him.”
“See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;”
“Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:”
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
