Job 23:16-17
Job 23:13-17 The Message (MSG)
“But he is singular and sovereign. Who can argue with him? He does what he wants, when he wants to. He’ll complete in detail what he’s decided about me, and whatever else he determines to do. Is it any wonder that I dread meeting him? Whenever I think about it, I get scared all over again. God makes my heart sink! God Almighty gives me the shudders! I’m completely in the dark, I can’t see my hand in front of my face.”

For God maketh my heart soft, And the Almighty troubleth me: Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
