Job - douay rheims

Chapter 33

¹ Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
² Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws.
³ My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence.
⁴ The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
⁵ If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face.
⁶ Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed.
⁷ But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee.
⁸ Now thou has said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words :
⁹ I am clean, and without sin : I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me.
¹⁰ Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy.
¹¹ He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths.
¹² Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified : I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
¹³ Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words?
¹⁴ God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time.
¹⁵ By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds :
¹⁶ Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn.
¹⁷ That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride.
¹⁸ Rescuing his soul from corruption : and his life from passing to the sword.
¹⁹ He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither.
²⁰ Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired.
²¹ His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare.
²² His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers.
²³ If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man's uprightness,
²⁴ He shall have mercy on him, and shall say : Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption : I have found wherein I may be merciful to him.
²⁵ His flesh is consumed with punishment, let him return to the days of his youth.
²⁶ He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him : and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice.
²⁷ He shall look upon men, and shall say : I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved.
²⁸ He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light.
²⁹ Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one.
³⁰ That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living.
³¹ Attend, Job, and hearken to me : and hold thy peace, whilst I speak.
³² But if thou hast any thing to say, answer me, speak : for I would have thee to appear just.
³³ And if thou have not, hear me : hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.

Chapter 33

¹ Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, 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 be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
⁴ The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
⁵ If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
⁶ Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
⁷ Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand 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, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
¹³ Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
¹⁴ For God speaketh once, yes twice, yet man perceiveth 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 the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
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 Yes, his soul draweth near to the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
²³ If there is a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man his uprightness:
²⁴ Then he is gracious to 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 will return to the days of his youth:
²⁶ He shall pray to God, and he will be favorable to him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render to man his righteousness.
²⁷ He looketh upon men, and if any shall say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
²⁸ He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
²⁹ Lo, all these things God often worketh with man,
³⁰ To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
³¹ Mark well, O Job, hearken to me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
³² If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
³³ If not, hearken to me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

Job - basic english

Chapter 33

¹ And now, O Job, give ear to my words, and take note of all I say.
² See, now my mouth is open, my tongue gives out words.
³ My heart is overflowing with knowledge, my lips say what is true.
⁴ The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Ruler of all gives me life.
⁵ If you are able, give me an answer; put your cause in order, and come forward.
⁶ See, I am the same as you are in the eyes of God; I was cut off from the same bit of wet earth.
⁷ Fear of me will not overcome you, and my hand will not be hard on you.
⁸ But you said in my hearing, and your voice came to my ears:
⁹ I am clean, without sin; I am washed, and there is no evil in me:
¹⁰ See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters;
¹¹ He puts chains on my feet; he is watching all my ways.
¹² Truly, in saying this you are wrong; for God is greater than man.
¹³ Why do you put forward your cause against him, saying, He gives no answer to any of my words?
¹⁴ For God gives his word in one way, even in two, and man is not conscious of it:
¹⁵ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep comes on men, while they take their rest on their beds;
¹⁶ Then he makes his secrets clear to men, so that they are full of fear at what they see;
¹⁷ In order that man may be turned from his evil works, and that pride may be taken away from him;
¹⁸ To keep back his soul from the underworld, and his life from destruction.
¹⁹ Pain is sent on him as a punishment, while he is on his bed; there is no end to the trouble in his bones;
²⁰ He has no desire for food, and his soul is turned away from delicate meat;
²¹ His flesh is so wasted away, that it may not be seen, and his bones. ...
²² And his soul comes near to the underworld, and his life to the angels of death.
²³ If now there may be an angel sent to him, one of the thousands which there are to be between him and God, and to make clear to man what is right for him;
²⁴ And if he has mercy on him, and says, Let him not go down to the underworld, I have given the price for his life:
²⁵ Then his flesh becomes young again, and he comes back to the days of his early strength;
²⁶ He makes his prayer to God, and he has mercy on him; he sees God's face with cries of joy; he gives news of his righteousness to men;
²⁷ He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin.
²⁸ He kept my soul from the underworld, and my life sees the light in full measure.
²⁹ Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times,
³⁰ Keeping back his soul from the underworld, so that he may see the light of life.
³¹ Take note O Job, give ear to me; keep quiet, while I say what is in my mind.
³² If you have anything to say, give me an answer; for it is my desire that you may be judged free from sin.
³³ If not, give attention to me, and keep quiet, and I will give you wisdom.
