욥기 33장 NASB
- 1 "However now Job please hear my speech And listen to all my words.
- 2 "Behold now I open my mouth My tongue in my mouth speaks.
- 3 "My words are from the uprightness of my heart And my lips speak knowledge sincerely.
- 4 "The Spirit of God has made me And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
- 5 "Refute me if you can; Array yourselves before me take your stand.
- 6 "Behold I belong to God like you; I too have been formed out of the clay.
- 7 "Behold no fear of me should terrify you Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.
- 8 "Surely you have spoken in my hearing And I have heard the sound of your words:
- 9 'I am pure without transgression; I am innocent and there is no guilt in me.
- 10 'Behold He invents pretexts against me; He counts me as His enemy.
- 11 'He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches all my paths.'
- 12 "Behold let me tell you you are not right in this For God is greater than man.
- 13 "Why do you complain against Him That He does not give an account of all His doings?
- 14 "Indeed God speaks once Or twice yet no one notices it.
- 15 "In a dream a vision of the night When sound sleep falls on men While they slumber in their beds
- 16 Then He opens the ears of men And seals their instruction
- 17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct And keep man from pride;
- 18 He keeps back his soul from the pit And his life from passing over into Sheol.
- 19 "Man is also chastened with pain on his bed And with unceasing complaint in his bones;
- 20 So that his life loathes bread And his soul favorite food.
- 21 "His flesh wastes away from sight And his bones which were not seen stick out.
- 22 "Then his soul draws near to the pit And his life to those who bring death.
- 23 "If there is an angel as mediator for him One out of a thousand To remind a man what is right for him
- 24 Then let him be gracious to him and say 'Deliver him from going down to the pit I have found a ransom';
- 25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
- 26 Then he will pray to God and He will accept him That he may see His face with joy And He may restore His righteousness to man.
- 27 "He will sing to men and say 'I have sinned and perverted what is right And it is not proper for me.
- 28 'He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit And my life shall see the light.'
- 29 "Behold God does all these oftentimes with men
- 30 To bring back his soul from the pit That he may be enlightened with the light of life.
- 31 "Pay attention O Job listen to me; Keep silent and let me speak.
- 32 "Then if you have anything to say answer me; Speak for I desire to justify you.
- 33 "If not listen to me; Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom."
