If Only I Fit Find Am
Job want court, no be fight. If im fit find where God dey live, im go lay out im case and dem go free am. But God no dey east or west, and E dey do anytin wey E like. Job talk say im go come out like gold, but fear still hold am.
23 1Den Job answer sey: 2"Even today my complain still dey bitter; im hand heavy for my body even as I dey groan. 3If only I sabi where I go find am, so I fit reach the place wey e dey stay! 4I for put my matter before am and full my mouth with the tin wey I wan talk. 5I for learn di words wey e go answer me and understand wetin e go talk to me. 6Abi e for argue with me with im plenty power? No—e for sure listen to me well well. 7For there, person wey dey straight for correct-and-holy way fit reason with am, and my judge go set me free forever. 8But if I go east, e no dey there; and for west side I no fit find am. 9When e dey work for north, I no fit see am; when e turn go south, I no fit find am. 10But e sabi di road wey I dey follow; when e don test me finish, I go comot like pure gold. 11My leg hold im footstep tight; I don keep im way and I no turn comot. 12I no comot from di command wey im mouth talk; I don treasure di words of im mouth pass my daily food. 13But e no dey change—who fit turn am back? Wetin e want, na im e dey do. 14Because e go do wetin e don set for me, and plenty tin like dis dey inside im mind. 15Na why fear dey catch me for im front; when I think am, my body dey shake for am. 16God don make my heart weak; the Almighty One don put fear for my belle. 17But still, di darkness no fit shut my mouth, di thick blackness wey cover my face no fit stop me."
