Job 33

¹Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.

²Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

³My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.

⁴The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.

⁵If thou canst, answer thou me; Set thy words in order before me, stand forth.

⁶Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.

⁷Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.

⁸Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

⁹I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:

¹⁰Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy;

¹¹He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.

¹²Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.

¹³Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?

¹⁴For God speaketh once, Yea twice, though man regardeth it not.

¹⁵In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;
