chapter_Job_33
Job 33:1: And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and to all my words give ear. Job 33:2: Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate. Job 33:3: Of the uprightness of my heart are my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken. Job 33:4: The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me. Job 33:5: If thou art able &#8212; answer me, Set in array before me &#8212; station thyself. Job 33:6: Lo, I am, according to thy word, for God, From the clay I &#8212; I also, have been formed. Job 33:7: Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy. Job 33:8: Surely &#8212; thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear: Job 33:9: Pure am I, without transgression, Innocent am I, and I have no iniquity. Job 33:10: Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him, Job 33:11: He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.' Job 33:12: Lo, in this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man. Job 33:13: Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When for all His matters He answereth not? Job 33:14: For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.) Job 33:15: In a dream &#8212; a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed. Job 33:16: Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth: Job 33:17: To turn aside man from doing, And pride from man He concealeth. Job 33:18: He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart. Job 33:19: And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones is enduring. Job 33:20: And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food. Job 33:21: His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen! Job 33:22: And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death. Job 33:23: If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter &#8212; one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness: Job 33:24: Then He doth favour him and saith, 'Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.' Job 33:25: Fresher is his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth. Job 33:26: He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness. Job 33:27: He looketh on men, and saith, 'I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me. Job 33:28: He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.' Job 33:29: Lo, all these doth God work, Twice &#8212; thrice with man, Job 33:30: To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living. Job 33:31: Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I &#8212; I do speak. Job 33:32: If there are words &#8212; answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify thee. Job 33:33: If there are not &#8212; hearken thou to me, Keep silent, and I teach thee wisdom.
