Job Chapter 33King James Version2: Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. 3: My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. 4: The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. 5: If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up. 6: Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. 7: Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. 8: Surely thou hast spoken in mine 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, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. 13: Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. 14: For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth 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 the multitude of his bones with strong pain: 20: So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 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 grave, and his life to the destroyers. 23: If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: 24: Then he 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 shall return to the days of his youth: 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. 27: He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; 28: He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 29: Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, 30: To bring back his soul from the pit, to 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 any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. 33: If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
