32:21. I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man. I will not level God with man... Here Eliu considers that Job hath put himself on a level with God, by the manner he assumed to justify his own life in speaking to God as if he spoke to an equal: Eliu expresses in the following ver. 22 his fear of punishment hereafter for such an attempt. 32:22. For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away. Job Chapter 33 Eliu blames Job for asserting his own innocence. 33:1. Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words. 33:2. Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws. 33:3. My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence. 33:4. The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life. 33:5. If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face. 33:6. Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed. 33:7. But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee. 33:8. Now thou hast said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words: 33:9. I am clean, and without sin: I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me. 33:10. Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy. 33:11. He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths. 33:12. Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. 33:13. Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words? 33:14. God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time. 33:15. By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds: 33:16. Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn. 33:17. That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride. 33:18. Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword. 33:19. He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither. 33:20. Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired. 33:21. His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare. 33:22. His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers. 33:23. If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man's uprightness, 33:24. 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. 33:25. His flesh is consumed with punishments, let him return to the days of his youth. 33:26. 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.
