Verse
Job - ch 33 v 1 - 20
- Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.
- Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
- My words `shall utter' the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
- The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.
- If thou canst, answer thou me; Set `thy words' in order before me, stand forth.
- Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.
- Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
- Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of `thy' words, `saying',
- I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:
- Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy:
- He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.
- Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.
- Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?
- For God speaketh once, Yea twice, `though man' regardeth it not.
- In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;
- Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,
- That he may withdraw man `from his' purpose, And hide pride from man;
- He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.
- He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;
- So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food.
