Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

JOB 33:1

Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

JOB 33:2

My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

JOB 33:3

The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

JOB 33:4

If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

JOB 33:5

Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

JOB 33:6

Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

JOB 33:7

Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

JOB 33:8

I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

JOB 33:9

Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

JOB 33:10

He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

JOB 33:11

Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

JOB 33:12

Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

JOB 33:13

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

JOB 33:14

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

JOB 33:15

Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

JOB 33:16

That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

JOB 33:17

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

JOB 33:18

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

JOB 33:19

So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

JOB 33:20

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

JOB 33:21

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

JOB 33:22

If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

JOB 33:23

Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

JOB 33:24

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

JOB 33:25

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.

JOB 33:26

He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

JOB 33:27

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

JOB 33:28

Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

JOB 33:29

To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

JOB 33:30

Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

JOB 33:31

If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

JOB 33:32

If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

JOB 33:33
