| 33:1 | Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my speeches, and hearken to all my wordes. |
| 33:2 | Behold, now I haue opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. |
| 33:3 | My words shalbe of the vprightnesse of my heart: and my lippes shall vtter knowledge clearely. |
| 33:4 | The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life. |
| 33:5 | If thou canst, answere me, set thy wordes in order before me, stand vp. |
| 33:6 | Behold, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I also am formed out of the clay. |
| 33:7 | Behold, my terrour shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heauie vpon thee. |
| 33:8 | Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I haue heard the voice of thy words, saying, |
| 33:9 | I am cleane without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquitie in me. |
| 33:10 | Behold, hee findeth occasions against mee, hee counteth mee for his enemie. |
| 33:11 | He putteth my feete in the stockes, he marketh all my pathes. |
| 33:12 | Behold, in this thou art not iust: I will answere thee, That God is greater then man. |
| 33:13 | Why doest thou striue against him? for he giueth not account of any of his matters. |
| 33:14 | For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiueth it not. |
| 33:15 | In a dreame, in a vision of the night, when deepe sleepe falleth vpon men, in slumbrings vpon the bed: |
| 33:16 | Then hee openeth the eares of men, and sealeth their instruction, |
| 33:17 | That hee may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. |
| 33:18 | Hee keepeth backe his soule from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. |
| 33:19 | Hee is chastened also with paine vpon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong paine. |
| 33:20 | So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soule daintie meate. |
| 33:21 | His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seene; and his bones that were not seene, sticke out. |
| 33:22 | His soule draweth neere vnto the graue, and his life to the destroyers. |
| 33:23 | If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew vnto man his vprightnesse: |
| 33:24 | Then hee is gracious vnto him, and sayth, Deliuer him from going downe to the pit; I haue found a ransome. |
| 33:25 | His flesh shall be fresher then a childes: he shall returne to the dayes of his youth. |
| 33:26 | He shall pray vnto God, and hee will be fauourable vnto him, and hee shall see his face with ioy: for hee will render vnto man his righteousnesse. |
| 33:27 | He looketh vpon men, and if any say, I haue sinned, and peruerted that which was right, and it profited mee not: |
| 33:28 | Hee will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. |
| 33:29 | Loe, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, |
| 33:30 | To bring backe his soule from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the liuing. |
| 33:31 | Marke well, O Iob, hearken vnto me, hold thy peace, and I wil speake. |
| 33:32 | If thou hast any thing to say, answere me: speake, for I desire to iustifie thee. |
| 33:33 | If not, hearken vnto me: holde thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisedome. |
| 33:1 | Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes. |
| 33:2 | Beholde now, I haue opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. |
| 33:3 | My words are in the vprightnesse of mine heart, and my lippes shall speake pure knowledge. |
| 33:4 | The Spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life. |
| 33:5 | If thou canst giue me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me. |
| 33:6 | Beholde, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I am also formed of the clay. |
| 33:7 | Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall mine hand be heauie vpon thee. |
| 33:8 | Doubtles thou hast spoken in mine eares, and I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes. |
| 33:9 | I am cleane, without sinne: I am innocent, and there is none iniquitie in me. |
| 33:10 | Lo, he hath found occasions against me, and counted me for his enemie. |
| 33:11 | He hath put my feete in the stockes, and looketh narrowly vnto all my paths. |
| 33:12 | Behold, in this hast thou not done right: I will answere thee, that God is greater then man. |
| 33:13 | Why doest thou striue against him? for he doeth not giue account of all his matters. |
| 33:14 | For God speaketh once or twise, and one seeth it not. |
| 33:15 | In dreames and visions of the night, when sleepe falleth vpon men, and they sleepe vpon their beds, |
| 33:16 | Then he openeth the eares of men, euen by their corrections, which he had sealed, |
| 33:17 | That he might cause man to turne away from his enterprise, and that he might hide the pride of man, |
| 33:18 | And keepe backe his soule from the pit, and that his life should not passe by the sword. |
| 33:19 | He is also striken with sorow vpon his bed, and the griefe of his bones is sore, |
| 33:20 | So that his life causeth him to abhorre bread, and his soule daintie meate. |
| 33:21 | His flesh faileth that it can not be seene, and his bones which were not seene, clatter. |
| 33:22 | So his soule draweth to the graue, and his life to the buriers. |
| 33:23 | If there be a messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand to declare vnto man his righteousnesse, |
| 33:24 | Then will he haue mercie vpon him, and will say, Deliuer him, that he go not downe into the pit: for I haue receiued a reconciliation. |
| 33:25 | Then shall his flesh be as fresh as a childes, and shall returne as in the dayes of his youth. |
| 33:26 | He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauourable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy: for he will render vnto man his righteousnes. |
| 33:27 | He looketh vpon men, and if one say, I haue sinned, and peruerted righteousnesse, and it did not profite me, |
| 33:28 | He will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. |
| 33:29 | Lo, all these things will God worke twise or thrise with a man, |
| 33:30 | That he may turne backe his soule from the pit, to be illuminate in the light of the liuing. |
| 33:31 | Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake. |
| 33:32 | If there be matter, answere me, and speak: for I desire to iustifie thee. |
| 33:33 | If thou hast not, heare me: holde thy tongue, and I will teach thee wisedome. |
| 33:1 | Wherfore, heare my wordes (O Iob) and herken vnto me all that I will saye: |
| 33:2 | Beholde, I haue now opened my mouth, my tonge hath spoken in my throte. |
| 33:3 | My hert doth ordre my wordes a ryght, and my lyppes talke of pure wysdome. |
| 33:4 | The spryte of God hath made me, and the breth of the Almyghtye hath geuen me my lyfe. |
| 33:5 | If thou canst, then geue me answere: prepare thy selfe to stande before me face to face, |
| 33:6 | Beholde, before God am I euen as thou, for I am fashyoned and made euen of the same mould. |
| 33:7 | Therfore, thou nedest not to be afrayed of me, nether nedest thou to feare, that my auctoryte shalbe to heuy for the. |
| 33:8 | Now hast thou spoken in myne eares, and I haue herde the voyce of thy wordes: |
| 33:9 | I am cleane wythout any faute, I am innocent, and there is no wyckednes in me. |
| 33:10 | But lo, he hath picked a quarell agaynst me, and taketh me for hys enemy: |
| 33:11 | he hath put my fote in the stockes, and loketh narowly vnto all my pathes. |
| 33:12 | Beholde, in thys hast thou not done ryght. I wyll make answere vnto the, that God is more then man. |
| 33:13 | And why doest thou then stryue agaynst him: for he shall not geue the accomptes of all hys wordes. |
| 33:14 | For when God doth once commaunde a thynge, there shulde no man be curyous, to searche whether it be ryght. |
| 33:15 | In dreames and visyons of the nyght (when slombring commeth vpon men, that they fall a slepe in their beddes) |
| 33:16 | he roundeth them in the eares, he infourmeth them, and sheweth them playnely, |
| 33:17 | that it is he, whych withdraweth man from euyll, delyuereth hym from pryde, |
| 33:18 | kepeth hym from the graue, and hys lyfe from the swearde. |
| 33:19 | He chasteneth hym wyth sycknesse, and bryngeth hym to his bed: he layeth sore punyshement vpon hys bones, |
| 33:20 | so that hys lyfe maye awaye wyth no bred, and his soule abhorreth to eat any dayntie meat: |
| 33:21 | In so moch that hys body is cleane consumed awaye, and his bones appeare no more. |
| 33:22 | Hys lyfe draweth on to the graue, and hys lyfe to death. |
| 33:23 | Now, yf there be a messenger (one amonge a thousande) sent for to speake vnto man, and to shewe him the ryght waye: |
| 33:24 | then the Lorde is mercyfull vnto hym, and sayeth: He shalbe delyuered, that he fall not downe to the graue, for I am sufficiently reconcyled. |
| 33:25 | Than shall hys flesh be as well lykyng as it was afore, and shalbe as it was in hys youth. |
| 33:26 | For yf he submytte hym selfe vnto God, he shalbe gracious vnto him, and shewe him his countenaunce ioyfully, & rewardeth man for his ryghteousnes. |
| 33:27 | Soch a respecte hath he vnto men. Therfore, let a man confesse (and saye) I haue offended: I dyd vnryghteously, and it hath done me no good. |
| 33:28 | Yee, he hath delyuered my soule from destruccyon, and my lyfe shall se the lyght. |
| 33:29 | Lo, thus worcketh God allwaye with man, |
| 33:30 | that he kepeth hys soule from perishing, and letteth hym enioye the lyght of the lyuynge. |
| 33:31 | Marcke well (O Iob) and heare me: holde the styll, and I will speake. |
| 33:32 | But yf thou hast any thynge to saye, then answere me, and speake, for thy answere pleaseth me. |
| 33:33 | If thou hast nothinge, then heare me, and holde thy tonge, so shall I teach the wisdome. |
