    Job 23
    • 1   Then Job answered and said,
    • 2   Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
    • 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.
    • 5   I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
    • 6   Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
    • 7   There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
    • 8   Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
    • 9   On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
    • 10   But he knows the way that I take: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
    • 11   My foot has held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
    • 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.
    • 13   But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that he does.
    • 14   For he performs 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.
    • 16   For God makes my heart soft, and the Almighty troubles me:
    • 17   Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither has he covered the darkness from my face.

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
