< Job 33 >

1 And but hear please O Job words my and all words my give ear to!
Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.
2 Here! please I open mouth my it speaks tongue my on palate my.
Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue speaketh in my palate,
3 [are] [the] uprightness of Heart my words my and [the] knowledge of lips my purified they speak.
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge purely.
4 [the] spirit of God it has made me and [the] breath of [the] Almighty it gives life me.
The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5 If you will be able respond to me arrange! before me take your stand!
If thou canst, answer me; array [thy words] before me: take thy stand.
6 Here! I [am] like mouth your to God from clay I was nipped off also I.
Behold, before God I am as thou; I also am 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 shall not make thee afraid, nor my burden be heavy upon thee.
8 Surely you have spoken in ears my and [the] sound of words I heard.
Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words: —
9 [am] pure I not transgression [am] innocent I and not iniquity [belongs] to me.
I am clean without transgression; I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me;
10 Here! occasions on me he finds he considers me to an enemy of him.
Lo, he findeth occasions of hostility against me, he counteth me for his enemy;
11 He puts in the stock[s] feet my he watches all paths my.
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh 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 thee in this, thou art not right; for God is greater than man.
13 Why? against him have you contended that all words his not he answers.
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
14 For on one [occasion] he speaks God and on two [occasions] not anyone perceives it.
For God speaketh once, and twice, — [and man] perceiveth it not —
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 falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he will uncover [the] ear of people and with discipline their he will seal.
Then he openeth men's ears, and sealeth 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] work, and hide pride from man.
18 He will keep back life his from [the] pit and life his from passing away by missile.
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away 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 upon his bed, and with constant strife in his bones;
20 And it loathes it life his bread and self his food of desire.
And his life abhorreth 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 consumed away from view, and 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.
And his soul draweth 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 be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his duty;
24 And he showed favor to him and he said deliver him from going down [the] pit I have found a ransom.
Then he will be gracious unto him, and say, 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 shall be fresher than in childhood; he shall return 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 shall pray unto God, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto 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 will sing before men, and say, I have sinned, and perverted what was right, and it hath not been requited to 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 hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.
29 Here! all these [things] he does God two times three [times] with a man.
Lo, all these [things] worketh God twice, thrice, with 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, hearken unto me; be silent, and I will speak.
32 If there [are] words respond to me speak for I desire to justify you.
If thou hast anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.
33 If not you listen to me keep quiet and I will teach you wisdom.
If not, hearken thou unto me; be silent, and I will teach thee wisdom.
