Job 23:8-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

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;When 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 shall come forth as gold.

11. My foot has held fast to His steps;I have kept His way and not turned aside.

12. I have not departed from the commandment of His lips;I have treasured the words of His mouthMore than my necessary food.
