CHAP. XXXIII.
1 Elihu offereth himself instead of God, with
sincerity and meekness, to reason with Job:
8 He excuseth God from giving man an account
of his ways by his greatness. 14 God
calleth man to repentance by visions, 19 by
afflictions, 23 and by his ministry: 31 He
inciteth Job to attention.
1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee,
hear my speeches, and hearken
to all my words.
2 Behold, now I have opened my
mouth, my tongue hath spoken note in my
mouth.
3 My words shall be of the uprightness
of my heart: and my lips shall utter
knowledge clearly.
4 The Spirit of God hath made me,
and the breath of the Almighty hath
given me life.
5 If thou canst answer me, set thy
words in order before me, stand up.
6 noteBehold, I am note according to thy
wish in God's stead: I also am note formed
out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make
thee afraid, neither shall my hand be
heavy upon thee.
8 Surely thou hast spoken note in my
hearing, and I have heard the voice of
thy words, saying,
9 I am clean without transgression, I
am innocent; neither is there iniquity in
me.
10 Behold, he findeth occasions against
me, he counteth me for his enemy,
11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he
marketh all my paths.
12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I
will answer thee, that God is greater
than man.
13 Why dost thou strive against him?
for note he giveth not account of any of his
matters.
14 For God speaketh once, yes twice,
yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falleth upon men, in
slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then note he openeth the ears of men,
and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from
his note purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the
pit, and his life note from perishing by the
sword.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon
his bed, and the multitude of his
bones with strong pain:
20 noteSo that his life abhorreth bread,
and his soul note dainty food.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it
cannot be seen; and his bones that were
not seen stick out.
22 Yes, his soul draweth near to the
grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there is a messenger with him,
an interpreter, one among a thousand, to
show to man his uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious to him, and
saith, Deliver him from going down to
the pit: I have found note a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher note than a
child's: he will return to the days of his
youth:
26 He shall pray to God, and he will
be favorable to him: and he shall see his
face with joy: for he will render to man
his righteousness.
27 noteHe looketh upon men, and if any
shall say, I have sinned, and perverted
that which was right, and it profited me
not;
28 noteHe will deliver his soul from going
into the pit, and his life shall see the
light.
29 Lo, all these things God note often
worketh with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit,
to be enlightened with the light of the
living.
31 Mark well, O Job, hearken to me:
hold thy peace, and I will speak.
32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer
me: speak, for I desire to justify
thee.
33 If not, hearken to me: hold thy
peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
