Bible verse
When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.
Job 23:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 23.
5 I would learn how He would answer, and consider what He would say.
6 Would He contend with me in His great power? No, He would certainly take note of me.
7 Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
8 If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot find Him.
9 When He is at work in the north, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the south, I cannot see Him.
10 Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
11 My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning aside.
12 I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.
13 But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.
