Job 23:15
Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.
BSB
ASV
Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him.
KJV
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
Therefore am I troubled at his presence - The doctrine of divine purposes and decrees “is fitted to impress the mind with awe.” So vast are the plans of God; so uncertain to us is it what will be developed next; so impossible is it to resist God when he comes forth to execute his plans, that they fill the mind with reverence and fear. And this is one of the objects for which the doctrine is revealed.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
