My tongue has spoken in my mouth. 33:3 My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely. 33:4 The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life. 33:5 If you can, answer me; Set your words in order before me, and stand forth. 33:6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are: I am also formed out of the clay. 33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy on you. 33:8 "Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying, 33:9 `I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me: 33:10 Behold, he finds occasions against me, He counts me for his enemy: 33:11 He puts my feet in the stocks, He marks all my paths.` 33:12 "Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just; For God is greater than man. 33:13 Why do you strive against him, Because he doesn`t give account of any of his matters? 33:14 For God speaks once, Yes twice, though man pays no attention. 33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on men, In slumbering on the bed; 33:16 Then he opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction, 33:17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man. 33:18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword. 33:19 He is chastened also with pain on his bed, With continual strife in his bones; 33:20 So that his life abhors bread, And his soul dainty food. 33:21 His flesh is so consumed away, that it can`t be seen; His bones that were not seen stick out. 33:22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to the destroyers. 33:23 "If there is beside him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show to man what is right for him; 33:24 Then God is gracious to him, and says, `Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.` 33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child`s; He returns to the days of his youth. 33:26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, So that he sees his face with joy: He restores to man his righteousness. 33:27 He sings before men, and says, `I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it didn`t profit me. 33:28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, My life shall see the light.` 33:29 "Behold, God works all these things, Twice, yes three times, with a man, 33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living. 33:31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me: Hold your peace, and I will speak. 33:32 If you have anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify you. 33:33 If not, listen to me: Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom."
