Job 23:11

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.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
