Job 33

1 Elihu offereth himself instead of God, with sincerity and meekness, to reason with Job. 8 He excuseth God from giving man an account of his ways, by his greatness. 14 God calleth man to repentance by visions, 19 by afflictions, 23 and by his ministry. 31 He inclineth Job to attention.

 33:1 ¶ Wherefore, 199 Job, 347 I pray thee, x4994 hear 8085 z8798 my speeches, 4405 and hearken 238 z8685 to all x3605 my words. 1697

 33:2 Behold, x2009 now x4994 I have opened 6605 z8804 my mouth, 6310 my tongue 3956 hath spoken 1696 z8765 in my mouth. 2441

 33:3 My words 561 [shall be of] the uprightness 3476 of my heart: 3820 and my lips 8193 shall utter 4448 z8765 knowledge 1847 clearly. 1305 z8803

 33:4 The Spirit 7307 of God 410 hath made 6213 z8804 me, and the breath 5397 of the Almighty 7706 hath given me life. 2421 z8762

 33:5 If x518 thou canst 3201 z8799 answer 7725 z8687 me, set [thy words] in order 6186 z8798 before 6440 me, stand up. 3320 z8690

 33:6 Behold, x2005 I x589 [am] according to thy wish 6310 in God's 410 stead: I x589 also x1571 am formed 7169 z8795 out of the clay. 2563 x4480

 33:7 Behold, x2009 my terror 367 shall not x3808 make thee afraid, 1204 z8762 neither x3808 shall my hand 405 be heavy 3513 z8799 upon x5921 thee.

 33:8 Surely x389 thou hast spoken 559 z8804 in mine hearing, 241 and I have heard 8085 z8799 the voice 6963 of [thy] words, 4405 [saying],

 33:9 I x589 am clean 2134 without x1097 transgression, 6588 I x595 [am] innocent; 2643 neither x3808 [is there] iniquity 5771 in me.

 33:10 Behold, x2005 he findeth 4672 z8799 occasions 8569 against x5921 me, he counteth 2803 z8799 me for his enemy, 341 z8802

 33:11 He putteth 7760 z8799 my feet 7272 in the stocks, 5465 he marketh 8104 z8799 all x3605 my paths. 734

 33:12 Behold, x2005 [in] this x2063 thou art not x3808 just: 6663 z8804 I will answer 6030 z8799 thee, that x3588 God 433 is greater 7235 z8799 than man. 582 x4480

 33:13 Why x4069 dost thou strive 7378 z8804 against x413 him? for x3588 he giveth not x3808 account 6030 z8799 of any x3605 of his matters. 1697

 33:14 For x3588 God 410 speaketh 1696 z8762 once, 259 yea twice, 8147 [yet man] perceiveth 7789 z8799 it not. x3808

 33:15 In a dream, 2472 in a vision 2384 of the night, 3915 when deep y8639 sleep x8639 falleth 5307 z8800 upon x5921 men, y582 x376 in slumberings 8572 upon x5921 the bed; 4904

 33:16 Then x227 he openeth 1540 z8799 the ears 241 of men, y582 x376 and sealeth 2856 z8799 their instruction, 4561

 33:17 That he may withdraw 5493 z8687 man 120 [from his] purpose, 4639 and hide 3680 z8762 pride 1466 from man. 1397 x4480

 33:18 He keepeth back 2820 z8799 his soul 5315 from x4480 the pit, 7845 and his life 2416 from perishing 5674 z8800 x4480 by the sword. 7973

 33:19 He is chastened 3198 z8717 also with pain 4341 upon x5921 his bed, 4904 and the multitude 7230 z8675 y7379 of his bones 6106 with strong 386 [pain]:

 33:20 So that his life 2416 abhorreth 2092 z8765 bread, 3899 and his soul 5315 dainty 8378 meat. 3978

 33:21 His flesh 1320 is consumed away, 3615 z8799 that it cannot be seen; 7210 x4480 and his bones 6106 [that] were not x3808 seen 7200 z8795 stick out. 8192 z8795 z8675 y8205

 33:22 Yea, his soul 5315 draweth near 7126 z8799 unto the grave, 7845 and his life 2416 to the destroyers. 4191 z8688

 33:23 If x518 there y3426 be x3426 a messenger 4397 with x5921 him, an interpreter, 3887 z8688 one 259 among x4480 a thousand, 505 to show 5046 z8687 unto man 120 his uprightness: 3476

 33:24 Then he is gracious 2603 z8799 unto him, and saith, 559 z8799 Deliver 6308 z8798 him from going down 3381 z8800 x4480 to the pit: 7845 I have found 4672 z8804 a ransom. 3724

 33:25 His flesh 1320 shall be fresher 7375 z8738 than a child's: 5290 x4480 he shall return 7725 z8799 to the days 3117 of his youth: 5934

 33:26 He shall pray 6279 z8799 unto x413 God, 433 and he will be favorable 7521 z8799 unto him: and he shall see 7200 z8799 his face 6440 with joy: 8643 for he will render 7725 z8686 unto man 582 his righteousness. 6666

 33:27 He looketh 7789 z8799 upon x5921 men, y582 x376 and [if any] say, 559 z8799 I have sinned, 2398 z8804 and perverted 5753 z8689 [that which was] right, 3477 and it profited 7737 z8804 me not; x3808

 33:28 He will deliver 6299 z8804 his soul 5315 from going 5674 z8800 x4480 into the pit, 7845 and his life 2416 shall see 7200 z8799 the light. 216

 33:29 Lo, x2005 all x3605 these x428 [things] worketh 6466 z8799 God 410 oftentimes 6471 7969 with x5973 man, 1397

 33:30 To bring back 7725 z8687 his soul 5315 from x4480 the pit, 7845 to be enlightened 215 z8736 with the light 216 of the living. 2416

 33:31 Mark well, 7181 z8685 O Job, 347 hearken 8085 z8798 unto me: hold thy peace, 2790 z8685 and I x595 will speak. 1696 z8762

 33:32 If x518 thou hast 3426 any thing to say, 4405 answer 7725 z8685 me: speak, 1696 z8761 for x3588 I desire 2654 z8804 to justify 6663 z8763 thee.

 33:33 If x518 not, x369 hearken 8085 z8798 unto me: hold thy peace, 2790 z8685 and I shall teach 502 z8762 thee wisdom. 2451
