Job 23
- 1 Then Job answered and said,
- 2 Even to-day is my complaint rebellious: 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 set my cause in order 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 unto me.
- 6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
- 7 There the upright might reason with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
- 8 Behold, I go forward, but he is notthere; And backward, but I cannot perceive him;
- 9 On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
- 10 But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
- 11 My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.
- 12 I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
- 13 But he is in onemind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
- 14 For he performeth that which is appointed for me: And many such things are with him.
- 15 Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him.
- 16 For God hath made my heart faint, And the Almighty hath terrified me;
- 17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
