Job 33:8-33

8“You have inH389 factH389 spokenH559 1while I listenedH241, And I heardH8085 the soundH6963 of your wordsH4405:9‘I am 2pureH2134, 3withoutH1097 wrongdoingH6588; I am innocentH2643 and there 4is noH3808 guiltH5771 in me.10BeholdH2005, He 5inventsH4672 6criticismsH8569 againstH5921 me; He 7countsH2803 me as His enemyH340.11He 8putsH7760 my feetH7272 in the stocksH5465; He watchesH8104 allH3605 my pathsH734.’12BeholdH2005, let me respondH6030 to you, 9you areH6663 not rightH6663 in thisH2088, For GodH433 isH7235 greaterH7235 thanH4480 mankindH582.

13“WhyH4069 do you 10complainH7378 to Him That He does not giveH6030 an accountH6030 of allH3605 His doingsH1697?14IndeedH3588 11GodH410 speaksH1696 onceH259, Or twiceH8147, yet noH3808 one noticesH7789 it.15In a 12dreamH2472, a visionH2384 of the nightH3915, When deepH8639 sleepH8639 fallsH5307 on peopleH376, While they slumberH8572 in their bedsH4904,16ThenH227 13He opensH1540 the earsH241 of peopleH376, And horrifiesH2865 them with warningsH4148,17So that He may turnH5493 a personH120 awayH5493 from bad conductH4639, And 14keepH3680 a manH1397 from prideH1466;18He 15keepsH2820 his soulH5315 backH2820 from the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 from perishingH5674 by the 16spearH7973.

19“A person is also rebukedH3198 by 17painH4341 in his bedH4904, And with constantH386 complaintH7379 in his bonesH6106,20So that his lifeH2421 18loathesH2092 breadH3899, And his soulH5315, foodH3978 19that he should craveH8378.21His 20fleshH1320 wastesH3615 awayH3615 from sightH7210, And his 21bonesH6106, which were not seenH7210, stickH8192 outH8192.22Then 22his soulH5315 comesH7126 nearH7126 to the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 to those who bringH4191 deathH4191.

23“IfH518 thereH3426 isH3426 an 23intercedingH3917 angelH4397 for him, OneH259 out of a thousandH505, To remindH5046 a personH120 of whatH3476 isH3476 24rightH3476 for him,24And he isH2603 graciousH2603 to him, and saysH559, ‘FreeH6308 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, So that 28he may seeH7200 His faceH6440 with joyH8643, And He will restoreH7725 His righteousnessH6666 to that personH582.27He will singH7891 to peopleH376 and sayH559, ‘I 29have sinnedH2398 and pervertedH5753 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477, And it isH7737 not 30properH7737 for me.28He has redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 from goingH5674 to the pitH7845, And my lifeH2421 will 31seeH7200 the lightH216.’

29“BeholdH2005, GodH410 doesH6466 32allH3605 theseH428 things for a manH1397 twoH6471 or threeH7969 timesH6471,30To 33bringH7725 backH7725 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, So that he may be enlightenedH215 with the lightH216 of lifeH2425.31PayH7181 attentionH7181, JobH347, listenH8085 to me; KeepH2790 silentH2790, and let me speakH1696.32Then ifH518 34you haveH3426 anythingH4405 toH4405 sayH4405, answerH7725 me; SpeakH1696, for I would takeH2654 pleasureH2654 in justifyingH6663 you.33IfH518 not, 35listenH8085 to me; KeepH2790 silentH2790, and I will teachH502 you wisdomH2451.”
