Job Capítulo 33

33 : 1 However, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.

33 : 2 Behold now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.

33 : 3 My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart, and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.

33 : 4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

33 : 5 If thou can, answer thou me. Set thy words in order before me. Stand forth.

33 : 6 Behold, I am toward God even as thou are. I also am formed out of the clay.

33 : 7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, nor shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.

33 : 8 Surely thou have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

33 : 9 I am clean, without transgression. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.

33 : 10 Thou say, Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.

33 : 11 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.

33 : 12 Behold, I will answer thee. In this thou are not just, for God is greater than man.

33 : 13 Why do thou strive against him because he does not give account of any of his matters?

33 : 14 For God speaks once, yea twice, though man does not regard it.

33 : 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed.

33 : 16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction

33 : 17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

33 : 18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

33 : 19 He also is chastened with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones,

33 : 20 so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.

33 : 21 His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seen. And his bones that were not seen stick out.

33 : 22 Yea, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

33 : 23 If there be with him an agent, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,

33 : 24 then God is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom.

33 : 25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's. He returns to the days of his youth.

33 : 26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy, and he restores to man his righteousness.

33 : 27 He sings before men, and says, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me.

33 : 28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light.

33 : 29 Lo, all these things God works twice, yea thrice, with a man,

33 : 30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

33 : 31 Mark well, O Job, hearken to me. Keep silent, and I will speak.

33 : 32 If thou have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify thee.

33 : 33 If not, hearken thou to me. Keep silent, and I will teach thee.
