Job 33

1 Why, Job, I pray you, hear my speeches, and listen to all my words.
Compare verse
2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue has spoken in my mouth.
Compare verse
3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
Compare verse
4 The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.
Compare verse
5 If you can answer me, set your words in order before me, stand up.
Compare verse
6 Behold, I am according to your wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
Compare verse
7 Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy on you.
Compare verse
8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
Compare verse
9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
Compare verse
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me for his enemy,
Compare verse
11 He puts my feet in the stocks, he marks all my paths.
Compare verse
12 Behold, in this you are not just: I will answer you, that God is greater than man.
Compare verse
13 Why do you strive against him? for he gives not account of any of his matters.
Compare verse
14 For God speaks once, yes twice, yet man perceives it not.
Compare verse
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumberings on the bed;
Compare verse
16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
Compare verse
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
Compare verse
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
Compare verse
19 He is chastened also with pain on his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
Compare verse
20 So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty meat.
Compare verse
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
Compare verse
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
Compare verse
23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man his uprightness:
Compare verse
24 Then he is gracious to him, and said, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
Compare verse
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
Compare verse
26 He shall pray to God, and he will be favorable to him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render to man his righteousness.
Compare verse
27 He looks on men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
Compare verse
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
Compare verse
29 See, all these things works God oftentimes with man,
Compare verse
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
Compare verse
31 Mark well, O Job, listen to me: hold your peace, and I will speak.
Compare verse
32 If you have anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify you.
Compare verse
33 If not, listen to me: hold your peace, and I shall teach you wisdom.
