Job 23:17

Verse 17 of 17. The 23rd of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

13But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.

14For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.

15Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.

16For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.

17Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
