1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1“But now, O Job, hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Behold, I will open my mouth; my address is on the tip of my tongue.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3My words are from an upright heart, and my lips speak sincerely what I know.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5Refute me if you can; prepare your case and confront me.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6I am just like you before God; I was also formed from clay.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Surely no fear of me should terrify you; nor will my hand be heavy upon you.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words:
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9‘I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, with no iniquity in me.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10Yet God finds occasions against me; He counts me as His enemy.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches over all my paths.’
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Behold, you are not right in this matter. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13Why do you complain to Him that He answers nothing a man asks?
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15In a dream, in a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls upon men as they slumber on their beds,
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16He opens their ears and terrifies them with warnings
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17to turn a man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18to preserve his soul from the Pit and his life from perishing by the sword.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19A man is also chastened on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20so that he detests his bread, and his soul loathes his favorite food.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21His flesh wastes away from sight, and his hidden bones protrude.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the messengers of death.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23Yet if there is a messenger on his side, one mediator in a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24to be gracious to him and say, ‘Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found his ransom,’
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25then his flesh is refreshed like a child’s; he returns to the days of his youth.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26He prays to God and finds favor; he sees God’s face and shouts for joy, and God restores His righteousness to that man.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27Then he sings before men with these words: ‘I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will live to see the light.’
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Behold, all these things God does to a man, two or even three times,
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32But if you have something to say, answer me; speak up, for I would like to vindicate you.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33But if not, then listen to me; be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.”
