Job 33 — YLT

33Verse 1And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and [to] all my words give ear.^{Verse 2}Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.^{Verse 3}Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.^{Verse 4}The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.^{Verse 5}If thou art able — answer me, Set in array before me — station thyself.^{Verse 6}Lo, I [am], according to thy word, for God, From the clay I — I also, have been formed.^{Verse 7}Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.^{Verse 8}Surely — thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:^{Verse 9}'Pure [am] I, without transgression, Innocent [am] I, and I have no iniquity.^{Verse 10}Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,^{Verse 11}He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'^{Verse 12}Lo, [in] this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.^{Verse 13}Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When [for] all His matters He answereth not?^{Verse 14}For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)^{Verse 15}In a dream — a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.^{Verse 16}Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth:^{Verse 17}To turn aside man [from] doing, And pride from man He concealeth.^{Verse 18}He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.^{Verse 19}And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones [is] enduring.^{Verse 20}And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.^{Verse 21}His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen!^{Verse 22}And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death.^{Verse 23}If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter — one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:^{Verse 24}Then He doth favour him and saith, 'Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.'^{Verse 25}Fresher [is] his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth.^{Verse 26}He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.^{Verse 27}He looketh on men, and saith, 'I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.^{Verse 28}He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'^{Verse 29}Lo, all these doth God work, Twice — thrice with man,^{Verse 30}To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.^{Verse 31}Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I — I do speak.^{Verse 32}If there are words — answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify thee.^{Verse 33}If there are not — hearken thou to me, Keep silent, and I teach thee wisdom.
