Job 23:8

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

“Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him;
Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him.

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

Truly, You are a God who hides Himself,
O God of Israel, Savior!

who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
