CHAP. XXXIII.

1 Elihu offereth himselfe in stead of God, with sinceritie and meekenesse to reason with Iob. 8 He excuseth God from giuing man an account of his wayes, by his greatnesse. 14 God calleth man to repentance by visions, 19 by afflictions, 23 and by his ministery. 31 Hee inciteth Iob to attention.

1Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my speeches, and hearken to all my wordes.

2Behold, now I haue opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.2

3My words shalbe of the vprightnesse of my heart: and my lippes shall vtter knowledge clearely.

4The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.

5If thou canst, answere me, set thy wordes in order before me, stand vp.

6Behold, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I also am formed out of the clay.6

7Behold, my terrour shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heauie vpon thee.

8Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I haue heard the voice of thy words, saying,8

9I am cleane without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquitie in me.

10Behold, hee findeth occasions against mee, hee counteth mee for his enemie.

11He putteth my feete in the stockes, he marketh all my pathes.

12Behold, in this thou art not iust: I will answere thee, That God is greater then man.

13Why doest thou striue against him? for he giueth not account of any of his matters.13

14For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiueth it not.

15In a dreame, in a vision of the night, when deepe sleepe falleth vpon men, in slumbrings vpon the bed:

16Then hee openeth the eares of men, and sealeth their instruction,16

17That hee may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.17

18Hee keepeth backe his soule from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.18

19Hee is chastened also with paine vpon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong paine.

20So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soule daintie meate.20

21His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seene; and his bones that were not seene, sticke out.

22His soule draweth neere vnto the graue, and his life to the destroyers.

23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew vnto man his vprightnesse:

24Then hee is gracious vnto him, and sayth, Deliuer him from going downe to the pit; I haue found a ransome.24

25His flesh shall be fresher then a childes: he shall returne to the dayes of his youth.25

26He shall pray vnto God, and hee will be fauourable vnto him, and hee shall see his face with ioy: for hee will render vnto man his righteousnesse.

27He looketh vpon men, and if any say, I haue sinned, and peruerted that which was right, and it profited mee not:27

28Hee will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.28

29Loe, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,29

30To bring backe his soule from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the liuing.

31Marke well, O Iob, hearken vnto me, hold thy peace, and I wil speake.

32If thou hast any thing to say, answere me: speake, for I desire to iustifie thee.

33If not, hearken vnto me: holde thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisedome.
