8 See, I go forward, but he is not there; and back, but I do not see him;
9 I am looking for him on the left hand, but there is no sign of him; and turning to the right, I am not able to see him.
10 For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.
11 My feet have gone in his steps; I have kept in his way, without turning to one side or to the other.
12 I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.
13 But his purpose is fixed and there is no changing it; and he gives effect to the desire of his soul.
14 For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.
