mkjv@Job:33:1 @ However, Job, please hear my speeches, and listen to all my words.

mkjv@Job:33:2 @ Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue has spoken in my mouth,

mkjv@Job:33:3 @ my words [shall be] from my upright heart, and my lips will clearly speak knowledge.

mkjv@Job:33:4 @ The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

mkjv@Job:33:5 @ If you can, answer me; set yourself in order before me, stand up.

mkjv@Job:33:6 @ Behold, I [am] toward God even as you [are]; I also am formed out of the clay.

mkjv@Job:33:7 @ Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, and my burden shall not be heavy on you.

mkjv@Job:33:8 @ Surely you have spoken in my ears, and I have heard the sound of [your] words.

mkjv@Job:33:9 @ [You said], I [am] pure, without transgression; I [am] innocent, and no iniquity [is] in me;

mkjv@Job:33:10 @ behold, He finds reasons to be against me, He counts me for His enemy;

mkjv@Job:33:11 @ He puts my feet in the stocks; He marks all my paths.

mkjv@Job:33:12 @ Behold, [in] this you are not right; I will answer you, for God is greater than man.

mkjv@Job:33:13 @ Why do you fight against Him? For He does not give account for [any] of His matters.

mkjv@Job:33:14 @ For God speaks once, yea, twice, [but] not one takes notice.

mkjv@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men; while [they] slumber on the bed;

mkjv@Job:33:16 @ then He opens the ear of men and seals their teaching,

mkjv@Job:33:17 @ so that He may turn man [from his] act, that He might hide pride from man.

mkjv@Job:33:18 @ He keeps back his soul from the Pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

mkjv@Job:33:19 @ He is also chastened with pain on his bed, and enduring strife [in] his bones;

mkjv@Job:33:20 @ so that his life is sick of bread, and his soul desirable food.

mkjv@Job:33:21 @ His flesh wastes away, not seen; and his bones laid bare; they were not seen.

mkjv@Job:33:22 @ Yea, his soul draws near to the Pit, and his life to the dealers of death.

mkjv@Job:33:23 @ If there is a messenger for him, a mediator, one among a thousand, to declare for man his uprightness,

mkjv@Job:33:24 @ then He is gracious to him and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pit; for I have found a ransom.

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

mkjv@Job:33:26 @ he shall pray to God, and He will be gracious to Him; and he shall see His face with joy, for He will restore to man his righteousness.

mkjv@Job:33:27 @ He will observe to men, and say, I have sinned and perverted righteousness; and it was not equally repaid to me,

mkjv@Job:33:28 @ He has redeemed my soul from passing over into the Pit, and my life shall see the light.

mkjv@Job:33:29 @ Lo, all these [things] God does two or three times with a man,

mkjv@Job:33:30 @ to bring back his soul from the Pit, to be lighted with the light of the living.

mkjv@Job:33:31 @ Hear this, Job, listen to me; be silent and I will speak.

mkjv@Job:33:32 @ If you have anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify you.

mkjv@Job:33:33 @ If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.
