| Job 33:1 |
|
Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches,
and hearken to all my words. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:2 |
|
Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue
hath spoken in my mouth. |
| |
|
|
| Job 33:3 |
|
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart:
and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. |
| |
|
|
| Job 33:4 |
|
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath
of the Almighty hath given me life. |
| |
|
|
| Job 33:5 |
|
If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order
before me, stand up. |
| |
|
|
| Job 33:6 |
|
Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's
stead: I also am formed out of the clay. |
| |
|
|
| Job 33:7 |
|
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid,
neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. |
|
|
|
| Job 33:8 |
|
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and
I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, |
|
|
|
| Job 33:9 |
|
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent;
neither is there iniquity in me. |
|
|
|
| Job 33:10 |
|
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he
counteth me for his enemy, |
|
|
|
| Job 33:11 |
|
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh
all my paths. |
|
|
|
| Job 33:12 |
|
Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer
thee, that God is greater than man. |
|
|
|
| Job 33:13 |
|
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth
not account of any of his matters. |
|
|
|
| Job 33:14 |
|
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth
it not. |
|
|
|
| Job 33:15 |
|
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep
sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; |
|
|
|
| Job 33:16 |
|
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth
their instruction, |
|
|
|
| Job 33:17 |
|
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and
hide pride from man. |
|
|
|
| Job 33:18 |
|
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his
life from perishing by the sword. |
|
|
|
| Job 33:19 |
|
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed,
and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: |
| |
|
|
| Job 33:20 |
|
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul
dainty meat. |
| |
|
|
| Job 33:21 |
|
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be
seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:22 |
|
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and
his life to the destroyers. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:23 |
|
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter,
one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:24 |
|
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver
him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:25 |
|
His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he
shall return to the days of his youth: |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:26 |
|
He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable
unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his
righteousness. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:27 |
|
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have
sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:28 |
|
He will deliver his soul from going into the
pit, and his life shall see the light. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:29 |
|
Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes
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 |
|
Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy
peace, and I will speak. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:32 |
|
If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak,
for I desire to justify thee. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 33:33 |
|
If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and
I shall teach thee wisdom. |
