Job - ch 33 v 1 - 20
- "However, Job, Please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
- See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
- My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
- The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
- If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand forth.
- Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
- Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy on you.
- "Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
- 'I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
- Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
- He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.'
- "Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
- Why do you strive against him, because he doesn't give account of any of his matters?
- For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
- In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed;
- Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
- That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
- He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
- He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones;
- So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
