Job 33
1 And but hear please O Job words my and all words my give ear to!
“But now, Job, listen carefully to all that I am going to say [DOU].
2 Here! please I open mouth my it speaks tongue my on palate my.
I am ready to tell you [MTY, DOU] [what I think].
3 [are] [the] uprightness of Heart my words my and [the] knowledge of lips my purified they speak.
I know that I am speaking honestly and that I am speaking [MTY] sincerely.
4 [the] spirit of God it has made me and [the] breath of [the] Almighty it gives life me.
Almighty God has created me [as well as you], and his breath has caused me to live.
5 If you will be able respond to me arrange! before me take your stand!
So, answer [what] I [say] if you can; think carefully [about how you will reply to me].
6 Here! I [am] like mouth your to God from clay I was nipped off also I.
“God considers that you, and I are both [equal]; he formed both of us from clay.
7 Here! dread of me not it will terrify you and pressure my on you not it will be heavy.
So you do not need to be afraid of me; I will not crush/oppress you [by what I say] [MTY].
8 Surely you have spoken in ears my and [the] sound of words I heard.
I have heard you [DOU] speaking, and this is what you have said:
9 [am] pure I not transgression [am] innocent I and not iniquity [belongs] to me.
‘I am innocent; I have not committed any sins; I am pure; I have not done things that are wrong.
10 Here! occasions on me he finds he considers me to an enemy of him.
But God finds reasons to accuse me, and he considers that I am his enemy.
11 He puts in the stock[s] feet my he watches all paths my.
[It is as though] he has put my feet (in stocks/between wooden blocks to prevent me from walking away), and he watches everything that I do.’ [MTY]
12 Here! this not you are in [the] right I will answer you for he is great God more than a human.
But what you have said is wrong, and I will tell you [what you have said that is wrong]. God is much greater than any human.
13 Why? against him have you contended that all words his not he answers.
So, (why are you arguing against God, saying ‘He never answers my questions’?/you should not be arguing against God, saying ‘He never answers my questions.’) [RHQ]
14 For on one [occasion] he speaks God and on two [occasions] not anyone perceives it.
God does speak [to us] in various ways, but we do not pay any attention to what he says.
15 In a dream - a vision of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people in slumber on a bed.
[Sometimes he speaks to us] at night in dreams and visions, when we are on our beds, asleep [DOU].
16 Then he will uncover [the] ear of people and with discipline their he will seal.
He reveals things [MTY] to us and terrifies us by the things he warns us about.
17 To turn aside a person a deed and pride from a man he will cover.
He tell us those things in order that we stop doing [evil] things and to prevent us from becoming proud.
18 He will keep back life his from [the] pit and life his from passing away by missile.
He does not want us to be destroyed [MTY]; he wants to prevent us from dying [MTY] [while we are still young].
19 And he is chastened with pain on bed his (and [the] multitude of *Q(K)*) bones his [is] constant.
God also [sometimes] corrects us by forcing us to lie on our beds suffering much pain and with fever/aching in our bones.
20 And it loathes it life his bread and self his food of desire.
The result is that we do not desire any food, not even very special food.
21 It wastes away flesh his from sight (and they are laid bare *Q(K)*) bones his [which] not they were seen.
Our bodies become very thin, with the result that we look like skeletons [HYP], and our bones stick out.
22 And it drew near to the pit self his and life his to [those who] bring death.
[We know that] we will soon die and go to the place where dead people are.
23 If there on him - [is] an angel a mediator one of a thousand to tell to anyone uprightness his.
“But sometimes an angel [may come to one of us], one of the thousands of angels who come to intervene between us and God, to tell us what are the right things for us [to do].
24 And he showed favor to him and he said deliver him from going down [the] pit I have found a ransom.
The angel is kind to us and says to God, ‘Release that person, so that he does not descend to the place where dead people are! Do that because I have found the money to pay so that he can be released!
25 It grows fresh flesh his more than youth he returns to [the] days of youth his.
Allow his body to be strong again; allow him to be strong like he was when he was a 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.
When that happens, that person will pray to God, and God will accept/answer him; he will (enter God’s presence/worship God) joyfully, and then he will tell others how God saved him [from dying].
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 as he tells everyone, ‘I sinned, and I did things that were not right, but God did not punish me in the way that I deserved.
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 saved me from dying and going to the place where dead people are, and I will continue to enjoy being alive.’
29 Here! all these [things] he does God two times three [times] with a man.
God does all these things for us many times;
30 To bring back self his from [the] pit to be lighted up by [the] light of life.
he keeps us [SYN] from [dying and] going to the place where the dead are, in order that we can continue to enjoy being alive [IDM].
31 Pay attention O Job listen to me keep quiet and I I will speak.
So Job, listen to me; do not say anything more; just allow me to speak.
32 If there [are] words respond to me speak for I desire to justify you.
[After I speak], if you have something more that you want to say to me, say it, because I would like to find a way to declare that you (are innocent/have not done what is wrong).
33 If not you listen to me keep quiet and I will teach you wisdom.
But if you have nothing more that you want to say, then just listen to me, and I will teach you how to become wise.”
