Job 23:17
“Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.”
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
