Job 33

1Howbeit, JobH347, I pray thee, hearH8085 my speechH4405, And hearken to all my wordsH1697.2Behold now, I have openedH6605 my mouthH6310; My tongueH3956 hath spokenH1696 in my mouthH6310.3My wordsH561shall utterthe uprightnessH3476 of my heartH3820; And that which my lipsH8193 know they shall speak sincerely.4The SpiritH7307 of GodH410 hath madeH6213 me, And the breathH7307 of the AlmightyH7706 giveth me lifeH2421.5If thou canst, answer thou me; Setthy wordsin order before me, standH3320 forth.6Behold, I am toward GodH410 even as thou art: I alsoH1571 am formed out of the clay.7Behold, my terrorH367 shall not makeH3513 thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavyH3513 upon thee.8SurelyH389 thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heardH8085 the voiceH6963 ofthywordsH4405, sayingH559,9I am clean, without transgressionH6588; I am innocent, neither is there iniquityH5771 in me:10Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemyH341;11He putteth my feetH7272 in the stocksH5465, He marketh all my pathsH734.12Behold, I will answerH6030 thee, in this thou art not just; For GodH433 is greaterH7235 than man.13WhyH4069 dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his mattersH1697?14For GodH410 speaketh once, Yea twice, though man regardeth it not.15In a dreamH2472, in a visionH2384 of the nightH3915, When deepH8639 sleepH8639 falleth upon menH376, In slumberings upon the bedH4904;16ThenH227 he openeth the earsH241 of menH376, And sealeth their instruction,17That he may withdraw manH120 from his purpose, And hide prideH1466 from manH120;18He keepeth backH2820 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, And his lifeH5315 from perishing by the sword.19He is chastened also with painH4341 upon his bedH4904, And with continual strifeH7379 in his bonesH6106;20So that his lifeH5315 abhorreth breadH3899, And his soulH5315 dainty foodH3899.21His fleshH1320 is consumed awayH3615, that it cannot be seenH7200; And his bonesH6106 that were not seenH7200 stick out.22Yea, his soulH5315 draweth near unto the pitH7845, And his lifeH5315 to the destroyers.23If there be with him an angelH4397, An interpreter, oneH259 among a thousandH505, To show unto manH120 what is right for him;24ThenGodis gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from goingH3381 downH3381 to the pitH7845, I have foundH4672 a ransomH3724.25His fleshH1320 shall be fresher than a child’s; He returneth to the daysH3117 of his youthH5290.26He prayeth unto GodH433, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his faceH6440 with joyH8643: And he restoreth unto man his righteousnessH6666.27He singeth before menH376, and saith, I have sinnedH2398, and perverted that which was rightH3477, And it profited me not:28He hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 from going into the pitH7845, And my lifeH5315 shall behold the lightH216.29Lo, all these thingsH428 doth GodH410 work, Twice, yea thrice, with a manH1397,30To bringH7725 backH7725 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, That he may be enlightened with the lightH216 of the living.31Mark well, O JobH347, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speakH1696.32If thou hast anything to sayH1696, answer me: SpeakH1696, for I desireH2654 to justifyH6663 thee.33If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teachH502 thee wisdomH2451.
