5. I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
6. Would he plead against me with his great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
7. There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.
8. Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;
9. On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold him not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see him not.
10. But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.
