Job 23:9

“He works to the north, but I can't see him. He turns south, but I can't catch a glimpse of him.”

Verse in context — Job 23

There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.

If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can't find him;

He works to the north, but I can't see him. He turns south, but I can't catch a glimpse of him.

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth like gold.

My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned aside.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
