Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

33:1	'But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.
33:2	Behold, I open my mouth;the tongue in my mouth speaks.
33:3	My words declare the uprightness of my heart, and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
33:4	The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
33:5	Answer me, if you can;set your words in order before me;take your stand.
33:6	Behold, I am toward God as you are;I too was formed from a piece of clay.
33:7	Behold, no fear of me need terrify you;my pressure will not be heavy upon you.
33:8	'Surely, you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the sound of your words.
33:9	You say, I am clean, without transgression;I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me.
33:10	Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me as his enemy;
33:11	he puts my feet in the stocks, and watches all my paths.'
33:12	'Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you. God is greater than man.
33:13	Why do you contend against him, saying, He will answer none of my words'?
33:14	For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.
33:15	In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while they slumber on their beds,
33:16	then he opens the ears of men, and terrifies them with warnings,
33:17	that he may turn man aside from his deed, and cut off pride from man;
33:18	he keeps back his soul from the Pit, his life from perishing by the sword.
33:19	'Man is also chastened with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones;
33:20	so that his life loathes bread, and his appetite dainty food.
33:21	His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen;and his bones which were not seen stick out.
33:22	His soul draws near the Pit, and his life to those who bring death.
33:23	If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him;
33:24	and he is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down into the Pit, I have found a ransom;
33:25	let his flesh become fresh with youth;let him return to the days of his youthful vigor';
33:26	then man prays to God, and he accepts him, he comes into his presence with joy. He recounts to men his salvation,
33:27	and he sings before men, and says: I sinned and perverted what was right, and it was not requited to me.
33:28	He has redeemed my soul from going down into the Pit, and my life shall see the light.'
33:29	'Behold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man,
33:30	to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may see the light of life.
33:31	Give heed, O Job, listen to me;be silent, and I will speak.
33:32	If you have anything to say, answer me;speak, for I desire to justify you.
33:33	If not, listen to me;be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.'
