< Job 33 >

1 But, in very deed, hear, I pray thee, Job, my discourse, and, to all my words, give thou ear.
And but hear please O Job words my and all words my give ear to!
2 Lo! I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue, with my palate, hath spoken,
Here! please I open mouth my it speaks tongue my on palate my.
3 Mine utterances come straight from mine own heart, and, what I know, my lips have truly spoken;
[are] [the] uprightness of Heart my words my and [the] knowledge of lips my purified they speak.
4 The spirit of GOD, hath made me, and, the inspiration of the Almighty, giveth me life.
[the] spirit of God it has made me and [the] breath of [the] Almighty it gives life me.
5 If thou art able to answer me, Set in order before me—take thy stand!
If you will be able respond to me arrange! before me take your stand!
6 Lo! I am like thyself toward GOD, From clay, have I been nipped off, even I!
Here! I [am] like mouth your to God from clay I was nipped off also I.
7 Lo! my terror, will not startle thee, nor, my hand, upon thee, be heavy.
Here! dread of me not it will terrify you and pressure my on you not it will be heavy.
8 But thou hast spoken in mine ears, and, the sound of words, I heard: —
Surely you have spoken in ears my and [the] sound of words I heard.
9 Pure am, I, without transgression, —Clean am, I, and have no iniquity;
[am] pure I not transgression [am] innocent I and not iniquity [belongs] to me.
10 Lo! occasions of hostility, would he find against me, He counteth me an enemy to him;
Here! occasions on me he finds he considers me to an enemy of him.
11 He putteth—in the stocks—my feet, He watcheth all my paths.
He puts in the stock[s] feet my he watches all paths my.
12 Lo! in this, thou hast not been right—let me answer thee, For, GOD, is greater than, man.
Here! this not you are in [the] right I will answer you for he is great God more than a human.
13 Wherefore, against him, hast thou contended? For, with none of his reasons, will he respond.
Why? against him have you contended that all words his not he answers.
14 For, in one way, GOD may speak, —and, in a second way, one may not heed it: —
For on one [occasion] he speaks God and on two [occasions] not anyone perceives it.
15 In a dream, a vision of the night, when a deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed,
In a dream - a vision of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people in slumber on a bed.
16 Then, uncovereth he the ear of men, and, on their correction, affixeth a seal;
Then he will uncover [the] ear of people and with discipline their he will seal.
17 To turn a son of earth from his deed, while yet, pride, from man he concealeth:
To turn aside a person a deed and pride from a man he will cover.
18 He keepeth back his said from the pit, and his life from passing away by a weapon.
He will keep back life his from [the] pit and life his from passing away by missile.
19 Or he is chastised with pain, upon his bed, and, the strife of his bones, is unceasing!
And he is chastened with pain on bed his (and [the] multitude of *Q(K)*) bones his [is] constant.
20 So that his life maketh loathsome [his] food, and his soul, dainty meat;
And it loathes it life his bread and self his food of desire.
21 His flesh wasteth away out of sight, and bared are the bones once unseen;
It wastes away flesh his from sight (and they are laid bare *Q(K)*) bones his [which] not they were seen.
22 So doth his soul draw near to the pit, and his life to the inflicters of death:
And it drew near to the pit self his and life his to [those who] bring death.
23 If there hath been near him a messenger who could interpret—one of a thousand, to declare to the son of earth His uprightness,
If there on him - [is] an angel a mediator one of a thousand to tell to anyone uprightness his.
24 Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption!
And he showed favor to him and he said deliver him from going down [the] pit I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh hath been made fresher than a child’s, he hath returned to the days of his youth;
It grows fresh flesh his more than youth he returns to [the] days of youth his.
26 He made supplication unto GOD, who hath accepted him, and he hath beheld his face with a shout of triumph, Thus hath he given back to man his righteousness.
He prays to God - and he accepted him and he saw face his with a shout of joy and he restored to a person righteousness his.
27 He sang before men, and said, I sinned, and, uprightness, I perverted, yet he requited me not;
He watches - over people and he said I have sinned and upright[ness] I have perverted and not it was equal to me.
28 He hath ransomed my soul from passing away into the pit, —and, my life, in the light, shall have vision.
He has ransomed (self his *Q(K)*) from passing on in the pit (and life his *Q(K)*) on the light it will look.
29 Lo! a these things, doth GOD work, two ways, three, with a man;
Here! all these [things] he does God two times three [times] with a man.
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living.
To bring back self his from [the] pit to be lighted up by [the] light of life.
31 Mark well, O Job, and hearken to me, Be silent, and, I, will speak:
Pay attention O Job listen to me keep quiet and I I will speak.
32 If there is anything to say, reply to me, Speak, for I desire to justify thee;
If there [are] words respond to me speak for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, do, thou, hearken unto me, Be silent, that I may teach thee wisdom.
If not you listen to me keep quiet and I will teach you wisdom.
