Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words. |
2
|
Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. |
3
|
My words {cf15i shall utter} the uprightness of my heart: and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely. |
4
|
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty giveth me life. |
5
|
If thou canst, answer thou me; set {cf15i thy words} in order before me, stand forth. |
6
|
Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay. |
7
|
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee. |
8
|
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of {cf15i thy} words, {cf15i saying}, |
9
|
I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me: |
10
|
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy; |
11
|
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. |
12
|
Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; for God is greater than man. |
13
|
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. |
14
|
For God speaketh once, yea twice, {cf15i though man} regardeth it not. |
15
|
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; |
16
|
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, |
17
|
That he may withdraw man {cf15i from his} purpose, and hide pride from man; |
18
|
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. |
19
|
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones: |
20
|
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. |
21
|
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. |
22
|
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to the destroyers. |
23
|
If there be with him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man what is right for him; |
24
|
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom. |
25
|
His flesh shall be fresher than a child-s; he returneth to the days of his youth: |
26
|
He prayeth unto God, and he is favourable unto him; so that he seeth his face with joy: and he restoreth unto man his righteousness. |
27
|
He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not: |
28
|
He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light. |
29
|
Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, {cf15i yea} thrice, with a man, |
30
|
To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living. |
31
|
Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak. |
32
|
If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. |
33
|
If not, hearken thou unto me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom. |
