“If I go east, he is not there. If I go west, I can’t find him.
In context
6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.
7 There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
8 “If I go east, he is not there. If I go west, I can’t find him.
9 He works to the north, but I can’t see him. He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.
10 But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.
