Job 23:5-10 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. know the words with which he would answer,understand what he would say to me.

6. Would he contend with me through brute force?No, he would surely listen to me.

7. There those who do the right thing can argue with him;I could escape from my judge forever.

8. Look, I go east; he’s not there,west, and don’t discover him;

9. north in his activity, and I don’t grasp him;he turns south, and I don’t see.

10. Surely he knows my way;when he tests me,I will emerge as gold.
