Job 33:13-30

13WhyH4069 do you complainH7378 to HimH413 thatH3588 He answersH6030 nothingH3808 H3605 a man asksH1697?114ForH3588 GodH410 speaksH1696 in oneH259 way and in anotherH8147, yet no oneH3808 noticesH7789.15In a dreamH2472, in a visionH2384 in the nightH3915, when deep sleepH8639 fallsH5307 uponH5921 menH582 as they slumberH8572 onH5921 their bedsH4904,16 He opensH1540 their earsH241 H582 and terrifies themH2856 with warningsH456117to turnH5493 a manH120 from wrongdoingH4639 and keep himH3680 fromH1397 prideH1466,18to preserveH2820 his soulH5315 fromH4480 the PitH7845 and his lifeH2416 from perishingH5674 by the swordH7973.

19A man is also chastenedH3198 onH5921 his bedH4904with painH4341 and constantH386 distressH7379 in his bonesH6106,20so that heH2416 detestsH2092 his breadH3899,and his soulH5315 loathes his favoriteH8378 foodH3978.21His fleshH1320 wastes awayH3615 from sightH7210,and his hiddenH3808 H7200 bonesH6106 protrudeH8205.22HeH5315 draws nearH7126 to the PitH7845,and his lifeH2416 to the messengers of deathH4191.

23Yet ifH518 there isH3426 a messengerH4397 on his sideH5921,oneH259 mediatorH3887 inH4480 a thousandH505,to tellH5046 a manH120 what is right for himH3476,24to be graciousH2603 to him and sayH559,‘Spare himH6308 from going downH3381 to the PitH7845;I have foundH4672 his ransomH3724,’25then his fleshH1320 is refreshedH7375 like a child’sH5290;he returnsH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthH5934.26He praysH6279 toH413 GodH433 and finds favorH7521;he seesH7200 God’s faceH6440 and shouts for joyH8643,and God restoresH7725 His righteousnessH6666to that manH582.27Then he singsH7789 beforeH5921 2 menH582with these wordsH559:‘I have sinnedH2398 and pervertedH5753 what was rightH3477;yet I did notH3808 get what I deservedH7737.28He redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 from going downH5674 to the PitH7845,and I will liveH2416 to seeH7200 the lightH216.’

29BeholdH2005, allH3605 these thingsH428 GodH410 doesH6466 toH5973 a manH1397,twoH6471 or even three timesH7969,30to bring backH7725 his soulH5315 fromH4480 the PitH7845,that he may be enlightenedH215 with the lightH216 of lifeH2416.
