The Book of Job
33. fejezet
1. vers
“However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2. vers
See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3. vers
My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4. vers
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5. vers
If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
6. vers
Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
7. vers
Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8. vers
“Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9. vers
‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10. vers
Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
11. vers
He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
12. vers
“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
13. vers
Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14. vers
For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15. vers
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
16. vers
then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17. vers
that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18. vers
He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19. vers
“He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
20. vers
so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
21. vers
His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
22. vers
Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23. vers
“If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
24. vers
then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
25. vers
His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
26. vers
He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
27. vers
He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
28. vers
He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
29. vers
“Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
30. vers
to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31. vers
Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32. vers
If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33. vers
If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
