## Text

[1] “But now, O Job, hear my speech,
and listen to all my words. [2] Behold, I will open my mouth;
my address is on the tip of my tongue. [3] My words are from an upright heart,
and my lips speak sincerely what I know. [4] The Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. [5] Refute me if you can;
prepare your case and confront me. [6] I am just like you before God;
I was also formed from clay. [7] Surely no fear of me should terrify you;
nor will my hand be heavy upon you. [8] Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard these very words: [9] ‘I am pure, without transgression;
I am clean, with no iniquity in me. [10] Yet God finds occasions against me;
He counts me as His enemy. [11] He puts my feet in the stocks;
He watches over all my paths.’ [12] Behold, you are not right in this matter.
I will answer you, for God is greater than man. [13] Why do you complain to Him
that He answers nothing a man asks? [14] For God speaks in one way and in another,
yet no one notices. [15] In a dream,
in a vision in the night,
when deep sleep falls upon men
as they slumber on their beds, [16] He opens their ears
and terrifies them with warnings [17] to turn a man from wrongdoing
and keep him from pride, [18] to preserve his soul from the Pit
and his life from perishing by the sword. [19] A man is also chastened on his bed
with pain and constant distress in his bones, [20] so that he detests his bread,
and his soul loathes his favorite food. [21] His flesh wastes away from sight,
and his hidden bones protrude. [22] He draws near to the Pit,
and his life to the messengers of death. [23] Yet if there is a messenger on his side,
one mediator in a thousand,
to tell a man what is right for him, [24] to be gracious to him and say,
‘Spare him from going down to the Pit;
I have found his ransom,’ [25] then his flesh is refreshed like a child’s;
he returns to the days of his youth. [26] He prays to God and finds favor;
he sees God’s face and shouts for joy,
and God restores His righteousness
to that man. [27] Then he sings before men
with these words:
‘I have sinned and perverted what was right;
yet I did not get what I deserved. [28] He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
and I will live to see the light.’ [29] Behold, all these things God does to a man,
two or even three times, [30] to bring back his soul from the Pit,
that he may be enlightened with the light of life. [31] Pay attention, Job, and listen to me;
be silent, and I will speak. [32] But if you have something to say, answer me;
speak up, for I would like to vindicate you. [33] But if not, then listen to me;
be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.”
