Job 33

33
1“And yet, please, O Job, || Hear my speech and give ear [to] all my words. 2Now behold, I have opened my mouth, || My tongue has spoken in the palate. 3Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, || And my lips have clearly spoken knowledge. 4The Spirit of God has made me, || And the breath of the Mighty quickens me. 5If you are able—answer me, || Set in array before me—station yourself. 6Behold, I [am], according to your word, for God, || I have also been formed from the clay. 7Behold, my terror does not frighten you, || And my burden on you is not heavy. 8Surely you have spoken in my ears, || And the sounds of words I hear: 9I [am] pure, without transgression, || I [am] innocent, and I have no iniquity. 10Behold, He develops hindrances against me, || He reckons me for an enemy to Him, 11He puts my feet in the stocks, || He watches all my paths. 12Behold, you have not been righteous [in] this, || I answer you, that God is greater than man. 13Why have you striven against Him, || When [for] all His matters He does not answer? 14For once God speaks, and twice (he does not behold it), 15In a dream—a vision of night, || In the falling of deep sleep on men, || In slumberings on a bed. 16Then He uncovers the ear of men, || And seals for their instruction, 17To turn aside man [from] doing, || And He conceals pride from man. 18He keeps back his soul from corruption, || And his life from passing away by a dart. 19And he has been reproved || With pain on his bed, || And the strife of his bones [is] enduring. 20And his life has nauseated bread, || And his soul desirable food. 21His flesh is consumed from being seen, || And his bones are high, they were not seen! 22And his soul draws near to the pit, || And his life to those causing death. 23If there is a messenger by him, || An interpreter—one of a thousand, || To declare for man his uprightness, 24Then He favors him and says, || Ransom him from going down to the pit, || I have found an atonement. 25Fresher [is] his flesh than a child’s, || He returns to the days of his youth. 26He makes supplication to God, || And He accepts him. And he sees His face with shouting, || And He returns to man His righteousness. 27[Then] he looks on men and says, || I sinned, and I have perverted uprightness, || And it has not been profitable to me. 28He has ransomed my soul || From going over into the pit, || And my life looks on the light. 29Behold, God works all these, || Twice, [even] three times with man, 30To bring back his soul from the pit, || To be enlightened with the light of the living. 31Attend, O Job, listen to me, || Keep silent, and I speak. 32If there are words—answer me, || Speak, for I have a desire to justify you. 33If there are not—listen to me, || Keep silent, and I teach you wisdom.”
