Job 33:21-33 ▼

21 In so much that his body is cleane consumed away, and his bones appeare which before were not seene.

22 His soule draweth vnto the graue, and his lyfe to death.

23 Now yf there be a messenger, one among a thousande, sent for to speake vnto man, and to shew him the right way:

24 Then the Lord is mercifull vnto him, and sayth, He shalbe deliuered, that he fall not downe to the graue: for I am sufficiently reconciled.

25 Then shal his fleshe be as freshe as a childes, and shal returne as in the dayes of his youth.

26 He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauorable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy, for he will render vnto man his righteousnesse.

27 A respect hath he vnto men, let man then say, I haue offended, I did vnrighteously, & it hath done me no good:

28 Yea he hath deliuered my soule from destruction, and my lyfe shall see the light.

29 Lo all these worketh God alway with man:

30 That he bring backe his soule from the graue to the light, yea the light of the lyuing.

31 Marke wel O Iob, and heare me: hold thee still, and I will speake.

32 But if thou hast any thing to say, then aunswere me, and speake: for I desire to iustifie thee.

33 If thou hast nothing, then heare me, and hold thy tongue, and I shall teache thee wysdome.
