Job 23:15

FearDiscouragement and depression

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.

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.

17 Yet I am not silenced by the darkness, by the thick darkness that covers my face.
