Verse
Job - ch 33 v 1 - 20
- And now, O Job, give ear to my words, and take note of all I say.
- See, now my mouth is open, my tongue gives out words.
- My heart is overflowing with knowledge, my lips say what is true.
- The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Ruler of all gives me life.
- If you are able, give me an answer; put your cause in order, and come forward.
- See, I am the same as you are in the eyes of God; I was cut off from the same bit of wet earth.
- Fear of me will not overcome you, and my hand will not be hard on you.
- But you said in my hearing, and your voice came to my ears:
- I am clean, without sin; I am washed, and there is no evil in me:
- See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters;
- He puts chains on my feet; he is watching all my ways.
- Truly, in saying this you are wrong; for God is greater than man.
- Why do you put forward your cause against him, saying, He gives no answer to any of my words?
- For God gives his word in one way, even in two, and man is not conscious of it:
- In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep comes on men, while they take their rest on their beds;
- Then he makes his secrets clear to men, so that they are full of fear at what they see;
- In order that man may be turned from his evil works, and that pride may be taken away from him;
- To keep back his soul from the underworld, and his life from destruction.
- Pain is sent on him as a punishment, while he is on his bed; there is no end to the trouble in his bones;
- He has no desire for food, and his soul is turned away from delicate meat;
