33:1
audi igitur Iob eloquia mea et omnes sermones meos ausculta

33:2
ecce aperui os meum loquatur lingua mea in faucibus meis

33:3
simplici corde meo sermones mei et sententiam labia meapuram loquentur

33:4
spiritus Dei fecit me et spiraculum Omnipotentisvivificavit me

33:5
si potes responde mihi et adversus faciem meam consiste

33:6
ecce et me sicut et te fecit Deus et de eodem luto egoquoque formatus sum

33:7
verumtamen miraculum meum non te terreat et eloquentia meanon sit tibi gravis

33:8
dixisti ergo in auribus meis et vocem verborum audivi

33:9
mundus sum ego absque delicto inmaculatus et non estiniquitas in me

33:10
quia querellas in me repperit ideo arbitratus est meinimicum sibi

33:11
posuit in nervo pedes meos custodivit omnes semitas meas

33:12
hoc est ergo in quo non es iustificatus respondebo tibiquia maior sit Deus homine

33:13
adversum eum contendis quod non ad omnia verba responderittibi

33:14
semel loquitur Deus et secundo id ipsum non repetit

33:15
per somnium in visione nocturna quando inruit sopor superhomines et dormiunt in lectulo

33:16
tunc aperit aures virorum et erudiens eos instruitdisciplinam

33:17
ut avertat hominem ab his quae facit et liberet eum desuperbia

33:18
eruens animam eius a corruptione et vitam illius ut nontranseat in gladium

33:19
increpat quoque per dolorem in lectulo et omnia ossa eiusmarcescere facit

33:20
abominabilis ei fit in vita sua panis et animae illiuscibus ante desiderabilis

33:21
tabescet caro eius et ossa quae tecta fuerant nudabuntur

33:22
adpropinquabit corruptioni anima eius et vita illiusmortiferis

33:23
si fuerit pro eo angelus loquens unum de milibus utadnuntiet hominis aequitatem

33:24
miserebitur eius et dicet libera eum et non descendat incorruptionem inveni in quo ei propitier

33:25
consumpta est caro eius a suppliciis revertatur ad diesadulescentiae suae

33:26
deprecabitur Deum et placabilis ei erit et videbit faciemeius in iubilo et reddet homini iustitiam suam

33:27
respiciet homines et dicet peccavi et vere deliqui et uteram dignus non recepi

33:28
liberavit animam suam ne pergeret in interitum sed vivenslucem videret

33:29
ecce haec omnia operatur Deus tribus vicibus per singulos

33:30
ut revocet animas eorum a corruptione et inluminet luceviventium

33:31
adtende Iob et audi me et tace dum ego loquar

33:32
si autem habes quod loquaris responde mihi loquere voloenim te apparere iustum

33:33
quod si non habes audi me tace et docebo te sapientiam

033:001
Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

033:002
Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

033:003
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

033:004
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

033:005
If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

033:006
Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

033:007
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

033:008
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

033:009
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

033:010
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

033:011
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

033:012
Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

033:013
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

033:014
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

033:015
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

033:016
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

033:017
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

033:018
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

033:019
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

033:020
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

033:021
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

033:022
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

033:023
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

033:024
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

033:025
His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

033:026
He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

033:027
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

033:028
He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

033:029
Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

033:030
To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

033:031
Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

033:032
If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

033:033
If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
