dby@Job:33:1 @ Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.

dby@Job:33:2 @ Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue speaketh in my palate,

dby@Job:33:3 @ My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge purely.

dby@Job:33:4 @ The Spirit of �God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

dby@Job:33:5 @ If thou canst, answer me; array [thy words] before me: take thy stand.

dby@Job:33:6 @ Behold, before �God I am as thou; I also am formed out of the clay.

dby@Job:33:7 @ Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, nor my burden be heavy upon thee.

dby@Job:33:8 @ Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words: --

dby@Job:33:9 @ I am clean without transgression; I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me;

dby@Job:33:10 @ Lo, he findeth occasions of hostility against me, he counteth me for his enemy;

dby@Job:33:11 @ He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

dby@Job:33:12 @ Behold, I will answer thee in this, thou art not right; for +God is greater than man.

dby@Job:33:13 @ Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

dby@Job:33:14 @ For �God speaketh once, and twice, -- [and man] perceiveth it not --

dby@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

dby@Job:33:16 @ Then he openeth men's ears, and sealeth their instruction,

dby@Job:33:17 @ That he may withdraw man [from his] work, and hide pride from man.

dby@Job:33:18 @ He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the sword.

dby@Job:33:19 @ He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with constant strife in his bones;

dby@Job:33:20 @ And his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty food;

dby@Job:33:21 @ His flesh is consumed away from view, and his bones that were not seen stick out;

dby@Job:33:22 @ And his soul draweth near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

dby@Job:33:23 @ If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his duty;

dby@Job:33:24 @ Then he will be gracious unto him, and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

dby@Job:33:25 @ His flesh shall be fresher than in childhood; he shall return to the days of his youth.

dby@Job:33:26 @ He shall pray unto +God, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto man his righteousness.

dby@Job:33:27 @ He will sing before men, and say, I have sinned, and perverted what was right, and it hath not been requited to me;

dby@Job:33:28 @ He hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.

dby@Job:33:29 @ Lo, all these [things] worketh �God twice, thrice, with man,

dby@Job:33:30 @ To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

dby@Job:33:31 @ Mark well, Job, hearken unto me; be silent, and I will speak.

dby@Job:33:32 @ If thou hast anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.

dby@Job:33:33 @ If not, hearken thou unto me; be silent, and I will teach thee wisdom.
