JOB C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 C21 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 C27 C28 C29 C30 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 C36 C37 C38 C39 C40 C41 C42
33 But now, Job, please hear my words;
yes, listen to all of my words.
2 Behold, I have now opened my mouth;
my tongue has spoken on my palate.
3 My words are from the uprightness of my heart,
and my lips speak pure knowledge.
4 The Spirit of God made me;
yes, the breath of Shaddai enlivened me.
5 If you can, answer me;
array to my face; station yourself.
6 Behold, I am for God according to your mouth.
I too have been formed from clay;
7 behold, my fear will not terrify you,
and my pressure will not be heavy on you.
8 Indeed, you have spoken in my ears,
and I have heard the sound of the words.
9 ‘I am pure, without transgression;
I am innocent, and iniquity is not to me.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me;
he considers me an enemy to him.
11 He puts my feet in shackles;
he watches all of my paths.’
12 Behold, in this you are not right.
I will answer you,
for God is greater than man.
13 Why do you contend against him,
that he does not answer any of one’s words?
14 For God speaks once—yes, twice;
one does not perceive it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
in the falling of deep sleep upon men,
in slumbers upon a bed,
16 then he opens the ear of men
and seals their correction[fn]
17 to bring a man back from his doing
and to conceal pride from a man.
18 He spares his soul from the pit
and his life from crossing over by a weapon.
19 He is also chastened with pain on his bed
and the contention of his bones is continual.
20 so his life abhors bread,
and his soul food of desire.
21 His flesh wastes from sight,
and his bones, not seen, are exposed,
22 and his soul draws near to the pit,
and his life to the ones causing death.
23 If there is an angel for him, an interpreter,
one of a thousand,
to declare to a man his uprightness,
24 and he is gracious to him and says,
‘Redeem him from going down to the pit,
I have found a ransom,’
25 his flesh becomes fresher than in childhood;
it returns to the days of his youth.
26 He will pray to God, and he will accept him,
and he will see his face with joy,
and he will restore to the man his righteousness.
27 He will sing to men and say,
‘I sinned and I turned aside uprightness,
but he did not requite to me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going over into the pit,
and my life will see light.’
29 Behold, God does all these things twice, thrice, with a man
30 to bring his soul back from the pit
for being enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Heed, Job; listen to me.
Be silent, and I will speak.
32 If there are words, answer me;
speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, you listen to me;
be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.
Some modern versions have and terrifies them with warnings.
