Job 33

New American Standard Bible 1995

Elihu Claims to Speak for God

1“HoweverH199 now, JobH347, pleaseH4994 1hearH8085 my speechH4405, And listenH238 to allH3605 my wordsH1697.2BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I openH6605 my mouthH6310, My tongueH3956 in my 2mouthH2441 speaksH1696.3My wordsH561 are from the uprightnessH3476 of my heartH3820, And my lipsH8193 speakH4448 3knowledgeH1847 sincerelyH1305.4The 4SpiritH7307 of GodH410 has madeH6213 me, And the 5breathH5397 of 6the AlmightyH7706 givesH2421 me lifeH2421.57RefuteH7725 me ifH518 you canH3201; ArrayH6186 yourselves beforeH6440 me, takeH3320 your standH3320.6BeholdH2005, I belong to GodH410 like you; I tooH1571 have been 8formedH7169 out of the 9clayH2563.7BeholdH2009, 10noH3808 fearH367 of me should terrifyH1204 you, NorH3808 should my pressureH405 weighH3513 heavilyH3513 on you.

8“SurelyH389 you have spokenH559 in my hearingH241, And I have heardH8085 the soundH6963 of your wordsH4405:9‘I am 11pureH2134, 12withoutH1097 transgressionH6588; I am innocentH2643 and there 13is noH3808 guiltH5771 in me.10BeholdH2005, He 14inventsH4672 pretextsH8569 againstH5921 me; He 15countsH2803 me as His enemyH340.11He 16putsH7760 my feetH7272 in the stocksH5465; He watchesH8104 allH3605 my pathsH734.’12BeholdH2005, let me 17tellH6030 you, 18you are not rightH6663 in thisH2088, For GodH433 is greaterH7235 thanH4480 manH582.

13“WhyH4069 do you 19complainH7378 againstH413 Him That He does not giveH6030 an accountH6030 of allH3605 His doingsH1697?14IndeedH3588 20GodH410 speaksH1696 onceH259, Or twiceH8147, yet noH3808 one noticesH7789 it.15In a 21dreamH2472, a visionH2384 of the nightH3915, When soundH8639 sleepH8639 fallsH5307 on menH376, While they slumberH8572 in their bedsH4904,16ThenH227 22He opensH1540 the earsH241 of menH376, And sealsH2856 their instructionH4148,17That He may turnH5493 manH120 asideH5493 from his conductH4639, And 23keepH3680 manH1397 from prideH1466;18He 24keepsH2820 backH2820 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 from 25passingH5674 overH5674 26into SheolH7973.

19“27Man is also chastenedH3198 with 28painH4341 on his bedH4904, And with unceasingH386 complaintH7379 in his bonesH6106;20So that his lifeH2421 29loathesH2092 breadH3899, And his soulH5315 favoriteH8378 foodH3978.21His 30fleshH1320 wastesH3615 awayH3615 from sightH7210, And his 31bonesH6106 which were not seenH7210 stickH8192 out.22Then 32his soulH5315 drawsH7126 nearH7126 to the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 to those who bringH4191 deathH4191.

23“IfH518 thereH3426 is an angelH4397 as 33mediatorH3917 for him, OneH259 out of a thousandH505, To remindH5046 a manH120 whatH3477 is 34rightH3476 for him,24Then let him be graciousH2603 to him, and sayH559, ‘DeliverH6308 him from 35goingH3381 downH3381 to the pitH7845, I have foundH4672 a 36ransomH3724’;25Let his fleshH1320 becomeH7375 fresherH7375 thanH4480 in youthH5290, Let him returnH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthfulH5934 vigorH5934;26Then he will 37prayH6279 to GodH433, and He will acceptH7521 him, That 38he may seeH7200 His faceH6440 with joyH8643, And He may restoreH7725 His righteousnessH6666 to manH582.27He will singH7891 to menH376 and sayH559, ‘I 39have sinnedH2398 and pervertedH5753 whatH3477 is rightH3474, And it is not 40properH7737 for me.28He has redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 from goingH5674 to the pitH7845, And my lifeH2421 shall 41seeH7200 the lightH216.’

29“BeholdH2005, GodH410 doesH6466 42allH3605 theseH428 43oftentimesH6471H7969 with menH1397,30To 44bringH7725 backH7725 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, That he may be enlightenedH215 with the lightH216 of lifeH2425.31PayH7181 attentionH7181, O JobH347, listenH8085 to me; KeepH2790 silentH2790, and let me speakH1696.32Then ifH518 45you haveH3426 anythingH4405 to sayH4405, answerH7725 me; SpeakH1696, for I desireH2654 to justifyH6663 you.33IfH518 not, 46listenH8085 to me; KeepH2790 silentH2790, and I will teachH502 you wisdomH2451.”
