Quotable Job – part 2

In certain circles, today’s quote is rather well-known:

He knoweth the way that I take: and when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. (Job 23:10)

If you are familiar with the work of the late Ron Hamilton (Patch the Pirate), you will likely recognize that our verse forms the bulk of the chorus to his early song Rejoice in the Lord. Here is the chorus (I’ve put in bold the parts that refer to this verse):

O rejoice in the Lord; He makes no mistake.
He knoweth the end of each path that I take.
For when I am tried and purified,
I shall come forth as gold.
