Job 33 And yet hear now, O Job, my speech, and give ear to all my words.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And yet hear now, O Job, my speech, and give ear to all my words. ² Behold, now, I opened my mouth, my tongue spake in my palate. ³ My sayings the uprightness of my heart, and my lips spake knowledge purely. ⁴ The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty will cause me to live. ⁵ If thou shalt be able to turn back to me, set in order before me, stand forth. ⁶ Behold, I am according to thy mouth for God: from clay was I also broken off ⁷ Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, and my hand shall not be heavy upon thee. ⁸ Surely thou spakest in mine ear and I will hear the voice of thy words. ⁹ I am clean without transgression; I am fair, and no iniquity to me. ¹⁰ Behold, he will find enmity against me, and he will reckon me for an enemy to him. ¹¹ He will set my feet in the stocks, he will watch all my paths. ¹² Behold, this thou wert not just: I will answer thee, for God will be great above man. ¹³ Wherefore didst thou contend against him? for he will not answer all his words. ¹⁴ For God will speak at once, and at a second time, and he shall not regard it. ¹⁵ In a dream, in a vision of the night, in the falling of deep sleep upon men, in slumbers upon the bed; ¹⁶ Then he will uncover the ear of men, and will seal in their instruction, ¹⁷ To remove man from working, and he will bide pride from man. ¹⁸ He will keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the spear. ¹⁹ And he was chastened with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones perpetually. ²⁰ His life loathed bread, and his soul food of desire. ²¹ His flesh will consume away from seeing, and they saw not the nakedness of his bones. ²² And his soul will draw near to the pit, and his life to the dead. ²³ If there is a messenger upon him, an interpreter, one from a thousand, to announce to man his uprightness: ²⁴ And he will compassionate him and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I found an expiation. ²⁵ His flesh revived above a youth: he shall turn back to the days of his childhood. ²⁶ He shall pray to God and he shall receive him into favor: and he shall see his face with rejoicing, and he will turn back to man his justice. ²⁷ He will look upon men, and he shall say, I sinned, and I perverted the right, and it was not fitting to me; ²⁸ Redeem my soul from passing into the pit, and my life shall look upon light ²⁹ Behold, all these God will work twice, thrice, with man, ³⁰ To turn back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living. ³¹ Attend, O Job, hear to me: be silent and I will speak ³² If there be words, turn back to me: speak, for I desired to justify thee. ³³ If not, hear thou to me: be silent, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
