Job 23:14
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.
For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.
15 Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.
16 God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
