◄ JOB 33 ► ║ ═ ©

33 Wherefore heare my wordes O Iob, and hearken vnto all that I will say: 2 Behold, I haue now opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my throte. 3 My heart doth order my wordes aright, and my lippes talke of pure wysedome. 4 The spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the almightie hath geuen me my lyfe. 5 If thou canst then geue me aunswere, prepare thy selfe and stande before me face to face. 6 Beholde, before God I am euen as thou: for I am fashioned & made euen of the same molde. 7 Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall my hande be heauy vpon thee. 8 Now hast thou spoken in myne eares, & I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes: 9 I am cleane without any fault, I am innocent, & there is no wickednesse in me. 10 But lo, he hath piked a quarell against me, and taketh me for his enemie. 11 He hath put my foote in the stockes, and looketh narowlye vnto all my pathes. 12 Behold, in this hast thou not done right, I wil make aunswere vnto thee, that God is greater then man. 13 And why doest thou then striue against him? for he shall not geue the accomptes of all his wordes. 14 For God speaketh once or twise, and yet man vnderstandeth it not. 15 In dreames and visions of the night, when slumbring commeth vpon men that they fall asleepe in their beddes, 16 He roundeth them in the eares, and sealeth their correction: 17 That he may withdrawe man from euyll enterprises, and deliuer hym from pride, 18 And kepe his soule from the graue, and his life from the sworde. 19 He chasteneth hym with sickenesse vpon his bedde, he layeth sore punishement vpon his bones: 20 So that his lyfe may away with no bread, and his soule abhorreth to eate any dayntie meate: 21 In so much that his body is cleane consumed away, and his bones appeare which before were not seene. 22 His soule draweth vnto the graue, and his lyfe to death. 23 Now yf there be a messenger, one among a thousande, sent for to speake vnto man, and to shew him the right way: 24 Then the Lord is mercifull vnto him, and sayth, He shalbe deliuered, that he fall not downe to the graue: for I am sufficiently reconciled. 25 Then shal his fleshe be as freshe as a childes, and shal returne as in the dayes of his youth. 26 He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauorable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy, for he will render vnto man his righteousnesse. 27 A respect hath he vnto men, let man then say, I haue offended, I did vnrighteously, & it hath done me no good: 28 Yea he hath deliuered my soule from destruction, and my lyfe shall see the light. 29 Lo all these worketh God alway with man: 30 That he bring backe his soule from the graue to the light, yea the light of the lyuing. 31 Marke wel O Iob, and heare me: hold thee still, and I will speake. 32 But if thou hast any thing to say, then aunswere me, and speake: for I desire to iustifie thee. 33 If thou hast nothing, then heare me, and hold thy tongue, and I shall teache thee wysdome.
