Job 33:14-30
14IndeedH3588 1GodH410 speaksH1696 onceH259, Or twiceH8147, yet noH3808 one noticesH7789 it.15In a 2dreamH2472, a visionH2384 of the nightH3915, When soundH8639 sleepH8639 fallsH5307 on menH376, While they slumberH8572 in their bedsH4904,16ThenH227 3He opensH1540 the earsH241 of menH376, And sealsH2856 their instructionH4148,17That He may turnH5493 manH120 asideH5493 from his conductH4639, And 4keepH3680 manH1397 from prideH1466;18He 5keepsH2820 backH2820 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 from 6passingH5674 overH5674 7into SheolH7973.
19“8Man is also chastenedH3198 with 9painH4341 on his bedH4904, And with unceasingH386 complaintH7379 in his bonesH6106;20So that his lifeH2421 10loathesH2092 breadH3899, And his soulH5315 favoriteH8378 foodH3978.21His 11fleshH1320 wastesH3615 awayH3615 from sightH7210, And his 12bonesH6106 which were not seenH7210 stickH8192 out.22Then 13his soulH5315 drawsH7126 nearH7126 to the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 to those who bringH4191 deathH4191.
23“IfH518 thereH3426 is an angelH4397 as 14mediatorH3917 for him, OneH259 out of a thousandH505, To remindH5046 a manH120 whatH3477 is 15rightH3476 for him,24Then let him be graciousH2603 to him, and sayH559, ‘DeliverH6308 him from 16goingH3381 downH3381 to the pitH7845, I have foundH4672 a 17ransomH3724’;25Let his fleshH1320 becomeH7375 fresherH7375 thanH4480 in youthH5290, Let him returnH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthfulH5934 vigorH5934;26Then he will 18prayH6279 to GodH433, and He will acceptH7521 him, That 19he may seeH7200 His faceH6440 with joyH8643, And He may restoreH7725 His righteousnessH6666 to manH582.27He will singH7891 to menH376 and sayH559, ‘I 20have sinnedH2398 and pervertedH5753 whatH3477 is rightH3474, And it is not 21properH7737 for me.28He has redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 from goingH5674 to the pitH7845, And my lifeH2421 shall 22seeH7200 the lightH216.’
29“BeholdH2005, GodH410 doesH6466 23allH3605 theseH428 24oftentimesH6471H7969 with menH1397,30To 25bringH7725 backH7725 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, That he may be enlightenedH215 with the lightH216 of lifeH2425.
