NASB
""Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;"
— Job 23:8, NASB
“Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:”
“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 learn the words which He would answer, And perceive what He would say to me.
"Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.
"There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
"Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.
"But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
"My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.
