Job 33

¹And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and [to] all my words give ear.

²Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.

³Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.

⁴The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.

⁵If thou art able — answer me, Set in array before me — station thyself.

⁶Lo, I [am], according to thy word, for God, From the clay I — I also, have been formed.

⁷Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.

⁸Surely — thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:

⁹'Pure [am] I, without transgression, Innocent [am] I, and I have no iniquity.

¹⁰Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,

¹¹He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'

¹²Lo, [in] this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.

¹³Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When [for] all His matters He answereth not?

¹⁴For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)

¹⁵In a dream — a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.
