Job 33:8-33

8“SurelyH389 you have spokenH559 in my hearingH241, And I have heardH8085 the soundH6963 of your wordsH4405:9‘I am 1pureH2134, 2withoutH1097 transgressionH6588; I am innocentH2643 and there 3is noH3808 guiltH5771 in me.10BeholdH2005, He 4inventsH4672 pretextsH8569 againstH5921 me; He 5countsH2803 me as His enemyH340.11He 6putsH7760 my feetH7272 in the stocksH5465; He watchesH8104 allH3605 my pathsH734.’12BeholdH2005, let me 7tellH6030 you, 8you are not rightH6663 in thisH2088, For GodH433 is greaterH7235 thanH4480 manH582.

13“WhyH4069 do you 9complainH7378 againstH413 Him That He does not giveH6030 an accountH6030 of allH3605 His doingsH1697?14IndeedH3588 10GodH410 speaksH1696 onceH259, Or twiceH8147, yet noH3808 one noticesH7789 it.15In a 11dreamH2472, a visionH2384 of the nightH3915, When soundH8639 sleepH8639 fallsH5307 on menH376, While they slumberH8572 in their bedsH4904,16ThenH227 12He opensH1540 the earsH241 of menH376, And sealsH2856 their instructionH4148,17That He may turnH5493 manH120 asideH5493 from his conductH4639, And 13keepH3680 manH1397 from prideH1466;18He 14keepsH2820 backH2820 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 from 15passingH5674 overH5674 16into SheolH7973.

19“17Man is also chastenedH3198 with 18painH4341 on his bedH4904, And with unceasingH386 complaintH7379 in his bonesH6106;20So that his lifeH2421 19loathesH2092 breadH3899, And his soulH5315 favoriteH8378 foodH3978.21His 20fleshH1320 wastesH3615 awayH3615 from sightH7210, And his 21bonesH6106 which were not seenH7210 stickH8192 out.22Then 22his soulH5315 drawsH7126 nearH7126 to the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 to those who bringH4191 deathH4191.

23“IfH518 thereH3426 is an angelH4397 as 23mediatorH3917 for him, OneH259 out of a thousandH505, To remindH5046 a manH120 whatH3477 is 24rightH3476 for him,24Then let him be graciousH2603 to him, and sayH559, ‘DeliverH6308 him from 25goingH3381 downH3381 to the pitH7845, I have foundH4672 a 26ransomH3724’;25Let his fleshH1320 becomeH7375 fresherH7375 thanH4480 in youthH5290, Let him returnH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthfulH5934 vigorH5934;26Then he will 27prayH6279 to GodH433, and He will acceptH7521 him, That 28he may seeH7200 His faceH6440 with joyH8643, And He may restoreH7725 His righteousnessH6666 to manH582.27He will singH7891 to menH376 and sayH559, ‘I 29have sinnedH2398 and pervertedH5753 whatH3477 is rightH3474, And it is not 30properH7737 for me.28He has redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 from goingH5674 to the pitH7845, And my lifeH2421 shall 31seeH7200 the lightH216.’

29“BeholdH2005, GodH410 doesH6466 32allH3605 theseH428 33oftentimesH6471H7969 with menH1397,30To 34bringH7725 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 35you haveH3426 anythingH4405 to sayH4405, answerH7725 me; SpeakH1696, for I desireH2654 to justifyH6663 you.33IfH518 not, 36listenH8085 to me; KeepH2790 silentH2790, and I will teachH502 you wisdomH2451.”
