Job 23:12

God's wordObedience

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.

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.

14 For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.
