Bible in Basic English
"I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him."
— Job 23:9, Bible in Basic English
Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.
There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.
See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;
I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.
For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.
My feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.
I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.
