Job Chapter 33American Standard2: Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth. 3: My words [shall utter] the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely. 4: The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life. 5: If thou canst, answer thou me; Set [thy words] in order before me, stand forth. 6: Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay. 7: Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee. 8: Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of [thy] words, [saying], 9: I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me: 10: Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy: 11: He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths. 12: Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man. 13: Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters? 14: For God speaketh once, Yea twice, [though man] regardeth it not. 15: In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed; 16: Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction, 17: That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, And hide pride from man; 18: He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword. 19: He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones; 20: So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food. 21: His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out. 22: Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers. 23: If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him; 24: Then [God] is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom. 25: His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; He returneth to the days of his youth. 26: He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness. 27: He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not: 28: He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light. 29: Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, [yea] thrice, with a man, 30: To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living. 31: Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak. 32: If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee. 33: If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
