“Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.”
Job reflects that if God passes by him, he does not perceive him, and if God goes forward, he does not see him, suggesting that divine action is often invisible and imperceptible to humans. The inability to perceive God's passing suggests that divine will operates in hiddenness. The two parallel clauses emphasize the elusiveness of divine presence.
