Bible. Job
18:033:006 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am
formed out of the clay.
18:033:007 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my
hand be heavy upon thee.
18:033:008 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the
voice of thy words, saying,
18:033:009 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is
there iniquity in me.
18:033:010 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for
his enemy,
18:033:011 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
18:033:012 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that
God is greater than man.
18:033:013 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of
any of his matters.
18:033:014 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
18:033:015 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth
upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
18:033:016 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their
instruction,
18:033:017 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from
man.
18:033:018 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from
perishing by the sword.
18:033:019 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude
of his bones with strong pain:
18:033:020 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
18:033:021 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his
bones that were not seen stick out.
18:033:022 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the
destroyers.
18:033:023 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a
thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
18:033:024 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from
going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
18:033:025 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to
the days of his youth:
18:033:026 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.
18:033:027 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and
perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
18:033:028 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life
shall see the light.
18:033:029 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
18:033:030 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with
the light of the living.
18:033:031 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will
speak.
18:033:032 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire
to justify thee.
18:033:033 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach
thee wisdom.
