Job 33

Geneva 1599Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes.

Geneva 1599Beholde now, I haue opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

Geneva 1599My words are in the vprightnesse of mine heart, and my lippes shall speake pure knowledge.

Geneva 1599The Spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.

Geneva 1599If thou canst giue me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me.

Geneva 1599Beholde, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I am also formed of the clay.

Geneva 1599Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall mine hand be heauie vpon thee.

Geneva 1599Doubtles thou hast spoken in mine eares, and I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes.

Geneva 1599I am cleane, without sinne: I am innocent, and there is none iniquitie in me.

Geneva 1599Lo, he hath found occasions against me, and counted me for his enemie.

Geneva 1599He hath put my feete in the stockes, and looketh narrowly vnto all my paths.

Geneva 1599Behold, in this hast thou not done right: I will answere thee, that God is greater then man.

Geneva 1599Why doest thou striue against him? for he doeth not giue account of all his matters.

Geneva 1599For God speaketh once or twise, and one seeth it not.

Geneva 1599In dreames and visions of the night, when sleepe falleth vpon men, and they sleepe vpon their beds,

Geneva 1599Then he openeth the eares of men, euen by their corrections, which he had sealed,

Geneva 1599That he might cause man to turne away from his enterprise, and that he might hide the pride of man,

Geneva 1599And keepe backe his soule from the pit, and that his life should not passe by the sword.

Geneva 1599He is also striken with sorow vpon his bed, and the griefe of his bones is sore,

Geneva 1599So that his life causeth him to abhorre bread, and his soule daintie meate.

Geneva 1599His flesh faileth that it can not be seene, and his bones which were not seene, clatter.

Geneva 1599So his soule draweth to the graue, and his life to the buriers.

Geneva 1599If there be a messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand to declare vnto man his righteousnesse,

Geneva 1599Then will he haue mercie vpon him, and will say, Deliuer him, that he go not downe into the pit: for I haue receiued a reconciliation.

Geneva 1599Then shall his flesh be as fresh as a childes, and shall returne as in the dayes of his youth.

Geneva 1599He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauourable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy: for he will render vnto man his righteousnes.

Geneva 1599He looketh vpon men, and if one say, I haue sinned, and peruerted righteousnesse, and it did not profite me,

Geneva 1599He will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

Geneva 1599Lo, all these things will God worke twise or thrise with a man,

Geneva 1599That he may turne backe his soule from the pit, to be illuminate in the light of the liuing.

Geneva 1599Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake.

Geneva 1599If there be matter, answere me, and speak: for I desire to iustifie thee.

Geneva 1599If thou hast not, heare me: holde thy tongue, and I will teach thee wisedome.
