Job 23:16

FearDiscouragement and depression

14 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.

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.
