Job 33

The Message Bible MSG

1 "So please, Job, hear me out, honor me by listening to me.

2 What I'm about to say has been carefully thought out.

3 I have no ulterior motives in this; I'm speaking honestly from my heart.

4 The Spirit of God made me what I am, the breath of God Almighty gave me life! God Always Answers, One Way or Another

5 "And if you think you can prove me wrong, do it. Lay out your arguments. Stand up for yourself!

6 Look, I'm human - no better than you; we're both made of the same kind of mud.

7 So let's work this through together; don't let my aggressiveness overwhelm you.

8 "Here's what you said. I heard you say it with my own ears.

9 You said, 'I'm pure - I've done nothing wrong. Believe me, I'm clean - my conscience is clear.

10 But God keeps picking on me; he treats me like I'm his enemy.

11 He's thrown me in jail; he keeps me under constant surveillance.'

12 "But let me tell you, Job, you're wrong, dead wrong! God is far greater than any human.

13 So how dare you haul him into court, and then complain that he won't answer your charges?

14 God always answers, one way or another, even when people don't recognize his presence.

15 "In a dream, for instance, a vision at night, when men and women are deep in sleep, fast asleep in their beds -

16 God opens their ears and impresses them with warnings

17 To turn them back from something bad they're planning, from some reckless choice,

18 And keep them from an early grave, from the river of no return.

19 "Or, God might get their attention through pain, by throwing them on a bed of suffering,

20 So they can't stand the sight of food, have no appetite for their favorite treats.

21 They lose weight, wasting away to nothing, reduced to a bag of bones.

22 They hang on the cliff-edge of death, knowing the next breath may be their last.

23 "But even then an angel could come, a champion - there are thousands of them! - to take up your cause,

24 A messenger who would mercifully intervene, canceling the death sentence with the words: 'I've come up with the ransom!'

25 Before you know it, you're healed, the very picture of health!

26 "Or, you may fall on your knees and pray - to God's delight! You'll see God's smile and celebrate, finding yourself set right with God.

27 You'll sing God's praises to everyone you meet, testifying, 'I messed up my life - and let me tell you, it wasn't worth it.

28 But God stepped in and saved me from certain death. I'm alive again! Once more I see the light!'

29 "This is the way God works. Over and over again

30 He pulls our souls back from certain destruction so we'll see the light - and live in the light!

31 "Keep listening, Job. Don't interrupt - I'm not finished yet.

32 But if you think of anything I should know, tell me. There's nothing I'd like better than to see your name cleared.

33 Meanwhile, keep listening. Don't distract me with interruptions. I'm going to teach you the basics of wisdom."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 audi igitur Iob eloquia mea et omnes sermones meos ausculta

2 ecce aperui os meum loquatur lingua mea in faucibus meis

3 simplici corde meo sermones mei et sententiam labia mea puram loquentur

4 spiritus Dei fecit me et spiraculum Omnipotentis vivificavit me

5 si potes responde mihi et adversus faciem meam consiste

6 ecce et me sicut et te fecit Deus et de eodem luto ego quoque formatus sum

7 verumtamen miraculum meum non te terreat et eloquentia mea non sit tibi gravis

8 dixisti ergo in auribus meis et vocem verborum audivi

9 mundus sum ego absque delicto inmaculatus et non est iniquitas in me

10 quia querellas in me repperit ideo arbitratus est me inimicum sibi

11 posuit in nervo pedes meos custodivit omnes semitas meas

12 hoc est ergo in quo non es iustificatus respondebo tibi quia maior sit Deus homine

13 adversum eum contendis quod non ad omnia verba responderit tibi

14 semel loquitur Deus et secundo id ipsum non repetit

15 per somnium in visione nocturna quando inruit sopor super homines et dormiunt in lectulo

16 tunc aperit aures virorum et erudiens eos instruit disciplinam

17 ut avertat hominem ab his quae facit et liberet eum de superbia

18 eruens animam eius a corruptione et vitam illius ut non transeat in gladium

19 increpat quoque per dolorem in lectulo et omnia ossa eius marcescere facit

20 abominabilis ei fit in vita sua panis et animae illius cibus ante desiderabilis

21 tabescet caro eius et ossa quae tecta fuerant nudabuntur

22 adpropinquabit corruptioni anima eius et vita illius mortiferis

23 si fuerit pro eo angelus loquens unum de milibus ut adnuntiet hominis aequitatem

24 miserebitur eius et dicet libera eum et non descendat in corruptionem inveni in quo ei propitier

25 consumpta est caro eius a suppliciis revertatur ad dies adulescentiae suae

26 deprecabitur Deum et placabilis ei erit et videbit faciem eius in iubilo et reddet homini iustitiam suam

27 respiciet homines et dicet peccavi et vere deliqui et ut eram dignus non recepi

28 liberavit animam suam ne pergeret in interitum sed vivens lucem videret

29 ecce haec omnia operatur Deus tribus vicibus per singulos

30 ut revocet animas eorum a corruptione et inluminet luce viventium

31 adtende Iob et audi me et tace dum ego loquar

32 si autem habes quod loquaris responde mihi loquere volo enim te apparere iustum

33 quod si non habes audi me tace et docebo te sapientiam
