The verses around Job 23:10.
8Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Verse explanation
“I shall come forth as gold” uses the image of metal refining — Job is confident that if he is truly tested, he will come out purer, like gold that passes through fire, not destroyed.
