Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 033
033:001
Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in
my mouth
033:002
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips
shall utter knowledge clearly
033:003
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty
hath given me life
033:004
If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me,
stand up
033:005
Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am
formed out of the clay
033:006
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my
hand be heavy upon thee
033:007
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the
voice of thy words, saying
033:008
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is
there iniquity in me
033:009
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for
his enemy
033:010
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths
033:011
Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that
God is greater than man
033:012
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of
any of his matters
033:013
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not
033:014
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth
upon men, in slumberings upon the bed
033:015
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their
instruction
033:016
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from
man
033:017
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from
perishing by the sword
033:018
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude
of his bones with strong pain
033:019
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat
033:020
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his
bones that were not seen stick out
033:021
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the
destroyers
033:022
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a
thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness
033:023
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from
going down to the pit: I have found a ransom
033:024
His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to
the days of his youth
033:025
He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him:
and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto
man his righteousness
033:026
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and
perverted that which was right, and it profited me not
033:027
He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life
shall see the light
033:028
Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man
033:029
To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with
the light of the living
033:030
Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will
speak
033:031
If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire
to justify thee
033:032
If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach
thee wisdom
