Job 23:13-17

13 But he stands alone and who can dissuade him? What he desires, that he does.
14 For he will complete what he appoints for me; and many such things are in his mind
15 Therefore I am terrified at his presence; when I consider, I am in dread of him.
16 God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me;
17 If only I could vanish in darkness, and thick darkness would cover my face!
