Job 33 — ENGLXXUP

33 Verse 1 Howbeit hear, Job, my words, ^{Verse 2} For behold, I have opened my mouth, ^{Verse 3} My heart shall be found pure by my words; ^{Verse 4} The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, ^{Verse 5} If thou canst, give me an answer: ^{Verse 6} Thou art formed out of the clay as also I: ^{Verse 7} My fear shall not terrify thee, ^{Verse 8} But thou hast said in mine ears ^{Verse 9} I am blameless, for I have not transgressed. ^{Verse 10} Yet he has discovered a charge against me, ^{Verse 11} And he has put my foot in the stocks, ^{Verse 12} For how sayest thou, I am righteous, yet he has not hearkened to me? ^{Verse 13} But thou sayest, Why has he not heard every word of my cause? ^{Verse 14} For when the Lord speaks once, ^{Verse 15} sending a dream, ^{Verse 16} Then opens he the understanding of men: ^{Verse 17} To turn a man from unrighteousness, ^{Verse 18} He spares also his soul from death, ^{Verse 19} And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, ^{Verse 20} And he shall not be able to take any food, ^{Verse 21} Until his flesh shall be consumed, ^{Verse 22} His soul also draws nigh to death, ^{Verse 23} Though there should be a thousand messengers of death, ^{Verse 24} He will support him, that he should not perish, ^{Verse 25} And he will make his flesh tender as that of a babe, ^{Verse 26} And he shall pray to the Lord, and his prayer shall be accepted of him; ^{Verse 27} Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, ^{Verse 28} Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, ^{Verse 29} Behold, all these things the Mighty One works ^{Verse 30} And he has delivered my soul from death, ^{Verse 31} Hearken, Job, and hear me: ^{Verse 32} If thou hast words, answer me: ^{Verse 33} If not, do thou hear me:
