American Standard Version
Job, Chapter 33

   1: Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.
   2: Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
   3: My words [shall utter] the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
   4: The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.
   5: If thou canst, answer thou me; Set [thy words] in order before me, stand forth.
   6: Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.
   7: Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
   8: Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of [thy] words, [saying],
   9: I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:
   10: Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy:
   11: He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.
   12: Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.
   13: Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?
   14: For God speaketh once, Yea twice, [though man] regardeth it not.
   15: In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;
   16: Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,
   17: That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, And hide pride from man;
   18: He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.
   19: He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;
   20: So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food.
   21: His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out.
   22: Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.
   23: If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him;
   24: Then [God] is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.
   25: His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; He returneth to the days of his youth.
   26: He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.
   27: He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:
   28: He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.
   29: Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, [yea] thrice, with a man,
   30: To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
   31: Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak.
   32: If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee.
   33: If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
