Job - ch 33 v 1 - 20
- And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and `to' all my words give ear.
- Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.
- Of the uprightness of my heart `are' my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.
- The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.
- If thou art able -- answer me, Set in array before me -- station thyself.
- Lo, I `am', according to thy word, for God, From the clay I -- I also, have been formed.
- Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.
- Surely -- thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:
- `Pure `am' I, without transgression, Innocent `am' I, and I have no iniquity.
- Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,
- He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'
- Lo, `in' this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.
- Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When `for' all His matters He answereth not?
- For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)
- In a dream -- a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.
- Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth:
- To turn aside man `from' doing, And pride from man He concealeth.
- He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.
- And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones `is' enduring.
- And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.
