33:1 Wherefore 199, Job 347, I pray thee, hear 8085 8798 my speeches 4405, and hearken 238 8685 to all my words 1697.

33:2 Behold, now I have opened 6605 8804 my mouth 6310, my tongue 3956 hath spoken 1696 8765 in my mouth 2441.(in my mouth: Heb. in my palate)

33:3 My words 561 [shall be of] the uprightness 3476 of my heart 3820: and my lips 8193 shall utter 4448 8765 knowledge 1847 clearly 1305 8803.

33:4 The Spirit 7307 of God 410 hath made 6213 8804 me, and the breath 5397 of the Almighty 7706 hath given me life 2421 8762.

33:5 If thou canst 3201 8799 answer 7725 8687 me, set [thy words] in order 6186 8798 before 6440 me, stand up 3320 8690.

33:6 Behold, I [am] according to thy wish 6310 in God's 410 stead: I also am formed 7169 8795 out of the clay 2563.(wish: Heb. mouth)(formed: Heb. cut)

33:7 Behold, my terror 367 shall not make thee afraid 1204 8762, neither shall my hand 405 be heavy 3513 8799 upon thee.

33:8 Surely thou hast spoken 559 8804 in mine hearing 241, and I have heard 8085 8799 the voice 6963 of [thy] words 4405, [saying],(hearing: Heb. ears)

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

33:10 Behold, he findeth 4672 8799 occasions 8569 against me, he counteth 2803 8799 me for his enemy 341 8802,

33:11 He putteth 7760 8799 my feet 7272 in the stocks 5465, he marketh 8104 8799 all my paths 734.

33:12 Behold, [in] this thou art not just 6663 8804: I will answer 6030 8799 thee, that God 433 is greater 7235 8799 than man 582.

33:13 Why dost thou strive 7378 8804 against him? for he giveth not account 6030 8799 of any of his matters 1697.(he giveth…: Heb. he answereth not)

33:14 For God 410 speaketh 1696 8762 once 259, yea twice 8147, [yet man] perceiveth 7789 8799 it not.

33:15 In a dream 2472, in a vision 2384 of the night 3915, when deep 8639 sleep falleth 5307 8800 upon men 582, in slumberings 8572 upon the bed 4904;

33:16 Then he openeth 1540 8799 the ears 241 of men 582, and sealeth 2856 8799 their instruction 4561,(he…: Heb. he revealeth, or, uncovereth)

33:17 That he may withdraw 5493 8687 man 120 [from his] purpose 4639, and hide 3680 8762 pride 1466 from man 1397.(purpose: Heb. work)

33:18 He keepeth back 2820 8799 his soul 5315 from the pit 7845, and his life 2416 from perishing 5674 8800 by the sword 7973.(from perishing: Heb. from passing)

33:19 He is chastened 3198 8717 also with pain 4341 upon his bed 4904, and the multitude 7230 8675 7379 of his bones 6106 with strong 386 [pain]:

33:20 So that his life 2416 abhorreth 2092 8765 bread 3899, and his soul 5315 dainty 8378 meat 3978.(dainty…: Heb. meat of desire)

33:21 His flesh 1320 is consumed away 3615 8799, that it cannot be seen 7210; and his bones 6106 [that] were not seen 7200 8795 stick out 8192 8795 8675 8205.

33:22 Yea, his soul 5315 draweth near 7126 8799 unto the grave 7845, and his life 2416 to the destroyers 4191 8688.

33:23 If there 3426 be a messenger 4397 with him, an interpreter 3887 8688, one 259 among a thousand 505, to shew 5046 8687 unto man 120 his uprightness 3476:

33:24 Then he is gracious 2603 8799 unto him, and saith 559 8799, Deliver 6308 8798 him from going down 3381 8800 to the pit 7845: I have found 4672 8804 a ransom 3724.(a ransom: or, an atonement)

33:25 His flesh 1320 shall be fresher 7375 8738 than a child's 5290: he shall return 7725 8799 to the days 3117 of his youth 5934:(a child's: Heb. childhood)

33:26 He shall pray 6279 8799 unto God 433, and he will be favourable 7521 8799 unto him: and he shall see 7200 8799 his face 6440 with joy 8643: for he will render 7725 8686 unto man 582 his righteousness 6666.

33:27 He looketh 7789 8799 upon men 582, and [if any] say 559 8799, I have sinned 2398 8804, and perverted 5753 8689 [that which was] right 3477, and it profited 7737 8804 me not;(He…: or, He shall look upon men, and say)

33:28 He will deliver 6299 8804 his soul 5315 from going 5674 8800 into the pit 7845, and his life 2416 shall see 7200 8799 the light 216.(He…: or, He hath delivered my soul, etc, and my life)

33:29 Lo, all these [things] worketh 6466 8799 God 410 oftentimes 6471 7969 with man 1397,(oftentimes: Heb. twice and thrice)

33:30 To bring back 7725 8687 his soul 5315 from the pit 7845, to be enlightened 215 8736 with the light 216 of the living 2416.

33:31 Mark well 7181 8685, O Job 347, hearken 8085 8798 unto me: hold thy peace 2790 8685, and I will speak 1696 8762.

33:32 If thou hast 3426 any thing to say 4405, answer 7725 8685 me: speak 1696 8761, for I desire 2654 8804 to justify 6663 8763 thee.
