Job 33
and listen to all my words.
My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
I am also formed out of the clay.
neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
He counts me for his enemy.
He marks all my paths.’
for God is greater than man.
because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
yes twice, though man pays no attention.
when deep sleep falls on men,
in slumbering on the bed;
and seals their instruction,
and hide pride from man.
and his life from perishing by the sword.
with continual strife in his bones,
and his soul dainty food.
His bones that were not seen stick out.
and his life to the destroyers.
an interpreter, one among a thousand,
to show to man what is right for him;
‘Deliver him from going down to the pit,
I have found a ransom.’
He returns to the days of his youth.
so that he sees his face with joy.
He restores to man his righteousness.
‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
and it didn’t profit me.
My life will see the light.’
twice, yes three times, with a man,
that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
Hold your peace, and I will speak.
Speak, for I desire to justify you.
Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
