< Job 33 >

1 And but hear please O Job words my and all words my give ear to!
“However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2 Here! please I open mouth my it speaks tongue my on palate my.
See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 [are] [the] uprightness of Heart my words my and [the] knowledge of lips my purified they speak.
My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4 [the] spirit of God it has made me and [the] breath of [the] Almighty it gives life me.
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 If you will be able respond to me arrange! before me take your stand!
If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6 Here! I [am] like mouth your to God from clay I was nipped off also I.
Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7 Here! dread of me not it will terrify you and pressure my on you not it will be heavy.
Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 Surely you have spoken in ears my and [the] sound of words I heard.
“Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 [am] pure I not transgression [am] innocent I and not iniquity [belongs] to me.
‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Here! occasions on me he finds he considers me to an enemy of him.
Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11 He puts in the stock[s] feet my he watches all paths my.
He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12 Here! this not you are in [the] right I will answer you for he is great God more than a human.
“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13 Why? against him have you contended that all words his not he answers.
Why do you strive against him, because he does not give account of any of his matters?
14 For on one [occasion] he speaks God and on two [occasions] not anyone perceives it.
For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 In a dream - a vision of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people in slumber on a bed.
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16 Then he will uncover [the] ear of people and with discipline their he will seal.
then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17 To turn aside a person a deed and pride from a man he will cover.
that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He will keep back life his from [the] pit and life his from passing away by missile.
He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 And he is chastened with pain on bed his (and [the] multitude of *Q(K)*) bones his [is] constant.
“He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20 And it loathes it life his bread and self his food of desire.
so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21 It wastes away flesh his from sight (and they are laid bare *Q(K)*) bones his [which] not they were seen.
His flesh is so consumed away that it cannot be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 And it drew near to the pit self his and life his to [those who] bring death.
Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there on him - [is] an angel a mediator one of a thousand to tell to anyone uprightness his.
“If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
24 And he showed favor to him and he said deliver him from going down [the] pit I have found a ransom.
then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25 It grows fresh flesh his more than youth he returns to [the] days of youth his.
His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 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.
He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27 He watches - over people and he said I have sinned and upright[ness] I have perverted and not it was equal to me.
He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me.
28 He has ransomed (self his *Q(K)*) from passing on in the pit (and life his *Q(K)*) on the light it will look.
He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29 Here! all these [things] he does God two times three [times] with a man.
“Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 To bring back self his from [the] pit to be lighted up by [the] light of life.
to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Pay attention O Job listen to me keep quiet and I I will speak.
Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 If there [are] words respond to me speak for I desire to justify you.
If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not you listen to me keep quiet and I will teach you wisdom.
If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
