Job 23:8-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 But if I go east, he is not there;[a]
or west, I cannot perceive him;
9 The north enfolds him, and I cannot catch sight of him;
The south hides him, and I cannot see him.
Jeremiah 23:23-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 Am I a God near at hand only—oracle of the Lord—(A)
and not a God far off?[a]
24 Can anyone hide in secret
without my seeing them?—oracle of the Lord.
Do I not fill
heaven and earth?—oracle of the Lord.
Footnotes
- 23:23–24 Near at hand only…far off: a divine claim that no one can hide from God and that God is aware of all that happens.
