절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Job's Reply to Eliphaz / Today I Complain Bitterly Job said:	Then Job answered and said,
2	Today I complain bitterly, because God has been cruel and made me suffer.	Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3	If I knew where to find God, I would go there	Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
4	and argue my case.	I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5	Then I would discover what he wanted to say.	I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6	Would he overwhelm me with his greatness? No! He would listen	Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
7	because I am innocent, and he would say, “I now set you free!”	There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
8	I cannot find God anywhere— in front or back of me,	Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9	to my left or my right. God is always at work, though I never see him.	On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10	But he knows what I am doing, and when he tests me, I will be pure as gold. *	But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11	I have never refused to follow any of his commands,	My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12	and I have always treasured his teachings.	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 alone is God, and who can oppose him? God does as he pleases,	But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14	and he will do exactly what he intends with me. *	For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
15	Merely the thought of God All-Powerful	Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16	makes me tremble with fear.	For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
17	God has covered me with darkness, but I refuse to be silent.	Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
