Job 23:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ “Look, I go forward, but He is not there,
    and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
⁹ when He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him;
    He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him.
¹⁰ But He knows the way that I take;
    when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
