2

Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.PS:32:4
JOB:6:3
JOB:7:11

3

Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

4

I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.JOB:13:3
JOB:9:14
JOB:13:18

5

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

6

Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.JOB:13:21
JOB:9:4
JOB:9:3

7

There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.JOB:13:3
JOB:23:10
JOB:13:16

8

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:JOB:35:14
JOB:9:11
PS:139:7-10

9

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:

10

But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.JOB:6:29

My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.JOB:31:7
PS:17:5

12

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.JOB:11:8

13

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.ISA:55:10-11
JOB:10:7
JOB:10:13

14

For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

15

Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.PS:119:120

16

For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:DEU:20:3
JER:51:46

17

Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
