Job 33

Young's Literal Translation YLT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 Surely -- 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

16 Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth:

17 To turn aside man [from] doing, And pride from man He concealeth.

18 He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.

19 And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones [is] enduring.

20 And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.

21 His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen!

22 And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death.

23 If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter -- one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:

24 Then He doth favour him and saith, `Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.'

25 Fresher [is] his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth.

26 He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.

27 He looketh on men, and saith, `I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.

28 He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'

29 Lo, all these doth God work, Twice -- thrice with man,

30 To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.

31 Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I -- I do speak.

32 If there are words -- answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify thee.

33 If there are not -- hearken thou to me, Keep silent, and I teach thee wisdom.

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 But now, Job, pay attention to my speech, and listen to all my words.

2 I am going to open my mouth; my tongue will form words on my palate.

3 My words [come from] my upright heart, and my lips speak what they know with sincerity.

4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

5 Refute me if you can. Prepare your case against me; take your stand.

6 I am just like you before God; I was also pinched off from [a piece of] clay.

7 Fear of me should not terrify you; the pressure I exert against you will be light.

8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words:

9 "I am pure, without transgression; I am clean and have no guilt.

10 But He finds reasons to oppose me; He regards me as his enemy.

11 He puts my feet in the stocks; He stands watch over all my paths."

12 But I tell you that you are wrong in this [matter], since God is greater than man.

13 Why do you take Him to court for not answering anything a person asks?

14 For God speaks time and again, but a person may not notice it.

15 In a dream, a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber on [their] beds,

16 He uncovers their ears at that time and terrifies them with warnings,

17 in order to turn a person [from his] actions and suppress his pride.

18 God spares his soul from the Pit, his life from crossing the river [of death].

19 A person may be disciplined on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,

20 so that he detests bread, and his soul [despises his] favorite food.

21 His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his unseen bones stick out.

22 He draws near the Pit, and his life to the executioners.

23 If there is an angel on his side, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what is right for him

24 and to be gracious to him and say, "Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found a ransom,"

25 then his flesh will be healthier than in his youth, and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.

26 He will pray to God, and God will delight in him. That man will behold His face with a shout of joy, and God will restore his righteousness to him.

27 He will look at men and say, "I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.

28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will continue to see the light."

29 God certainly does all these things two or three times to a man

30 in order to turn him back from the Pit, so he may shine with the light of life.

31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me. Be quiet, and I will speak.

32 But if you have something to say, answer me; speak, for I would like to justify you.

33 If not, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.
