Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

33:1

Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and hearken to my speech.

—

33:2

For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken.

—

33:3

My heart [shall be found] pure by [my] words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity.

—

33:4

The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me.

—

33:5

If thou canst, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I [will stand] against thee.

—

33:6

Thou art formed out of the clay as also I: we have been formed out of the same [substance].

—

33:7

My fear shall not terrify thee, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

—

33:8

But thou hast said in mine ears, (I have heard the voice of thy words;) because thou sayest, I am pure, not having sinned;

—

33:9

I am blameless, for I have not transgressed.

—

33:10

Yet he has discovered a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary.

—

33:11

And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways.

—

33:12

For how sayest thou, I am righteous, yet he has not hearkened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal.

—

33:13

But thou sayest, Why has he not heard every word of my cause?

—

33:14

For when the Lord speaks once, or a second time,

—

33:15

[sending] a dream, or in the meditation of the night; (as when a dreadful alarm happens to fall upon men, in slumberings on the bed:)

—

33:16

then opens he the understanding of men: he scares them with such fearful visions:

—

33:17

to turn a man from unrighteousness, and he delivers his body from a fall.

—

33:18

He spares also his soul from death, and [suffers] him not to fall in war.

—

33:19

And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones is benumbed.

—

33:20

And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat;

—

33:21

until his flesh shall be consumed, and he shall shew his bones bare.

—

33:22

His soul also draws nigh to death, and his life is in Hades.

—

33:23

Though there should be a thousand messengers of death, not one of them shall wound him: if he should purpose in his heart to turn to the Lord, and declare to man his fault, and shew his folly;

—

33:24

he will support him, that he should not perish, and will restore his body as [fresh] plaster upon a wall; and he will fill his bones with marrow.

—

33:25

And he will make his flesh tender as that of a babe, and he will restore him among men in [his] full strength.

—

33:26

And he shall pray to the Lord, and his prayer shall be accepted of him; he shall enter with a cheerful countenance, with a full expression [of praise]: for he will render to men [their] due.

—

33:27

Even then a man shall blame himself, saying, What kind of things have I done? and he has not punished me according to the full amount of my sins.

—

33:28

Deliver my soul, that it may not go to destruction, and my life shall see the light.

—

33:29

Behold, all these things the Mighty One works in a threefold manner with a man.

—

33:30

And he has delivered my soul from death, that my life may praise him in the light.

—

33:31

Hearken, Job, and hear me: be silent, and I will speak.

—

33:32

If thou hast words, answer me: speak, for I desire thee to be justified.

—

33:33

If not, do thou hear me: be silent, and I will teach thee.
