< Job 33 >

1 And but hear please O Job words my and all words my give ear to!
“And yet, please, O Job, Hear my speech and give ear [to] all my words.
2 Here! please I open mouth my it speaks tongue my on palate my.
Now behold, I have opened my mouth, My tongue has spoken in the palate.
3 [are] [the] uprightness of Heart my words my and [the] knowledge of lips my purified they speak.
Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And my lips have clearly spoken knowledge.
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 Mighty quickens me.
5 If you will be able respond to me arrange! before me take your stand!
If you are able—answer me, Set in array before me—station yourself.
6 Here! I [am] like mouth your to God from clay I was nipped off also I.
Behold, I [am], according to your word, for God, I have also been formed from 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 does not frighten you, And my burden on you is not heavy.
8 Surely you have spoken in ears my and [the] sound of words I heard.
Surely you have spoken in my ears, And the sounds of words I hear:
9 [am] pure I not transgression [am] innocent I and not iniquity [belongs] to me.
I [am] pure, without transgression, I [am] innocent, and I have no iniquity.
10 Here! occasions on me he finds he considers me to an enemy of him.
Behold, He develops hindrances against me, He reckons me for an enemy to Him,
11 He puts in the stock[s] feet my he watches all paths my.
He puts my feet in the stocks, He watches 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, you have not been righteous [in] this, I answer you, that God is greater than man.
13 Why? against him have you contended that all words his not he answers.
Why have you striven against Him, When [for] all His matters He does not answer?
14 For on one [occasion] he speaks God and on two [occasions] not anyone perceives it.
For once God speaks, and twice (he does not behold it),
15 In a dream - a vision of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people in slumber on a bed.
In a dream—a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.
16 Then he will uncover [the] ear of people and with discipline their he will seal.
Then He uncovers the ear of men, And seals for their instruction,
17 To turn aside a person a deed and pride from a man he will cover.
To turn aside man [from] doing, And He conceals 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 corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.
19 And he is chastened with pain on bed his (and [the] multitude of *Q(K)*) bones his [is] constant.
And he has been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones [is] enduring.
20 And it loathes it life his bread and self his food of desire.
And his life has nauseated bread, And his soul desirable 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 from being seen, And his bones are high, they were not seen!
22 And it drew near to the pit self his and life his to [those who] bring death.
And his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to those causing death.
23 If there on him - [is] an angel a mediator one of a thousand to tell to anyone uprightness his.
If there is a messenger by him, An interpreter—one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness,
24 And he showed favor to him and he said deliver him from going down [the] pit I have found a ransom.
Then He favors him and says, Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.
25 It grows fresh flesh his more than youth he returns to [the] days of youth his.
Fresher [is] his flesh 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 makes supplication to God, And He accepts him. And he sees His face with shouting, And He returns 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.
[Then] he looks on men and says, I sinned, and I have perverted uprightness, And it has not been profitable 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 has ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life looks on the light.
29 Here! all these [things] he does God two times three [times] with a man.
Behold, God works all these, Twice, [even] three times 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, To be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Pay attention O Job listen to me keep quiet and I I will speak.
Attend, O Job, listen to me, Keep silent, and I speak.
32 If there [are] words respond to me speak for I desire to justify you.
If there are words—answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify you.
33 If not you listen to me keep quiet and I will teach you wisdom.
If there are not—listen to me, Keep silent, and I teach you wisdom.”
