033:008 "Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying, 033:009 'I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me. 033:010 Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy. 033:011 He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.' 033:012 "Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man. 033:013 Why do you strive against him, because he doesn't give account of any of his matters? 033:014 For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention. 033:015 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed; 033:016 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, 033:017 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 033:018 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. 033:019 He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones; 033:020 So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food. 033:021 His flesh is so consumed away, that it can't be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out. 033:022 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers. 033:023 "If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him; 033:024 then God is gracious to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.' 033:025 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's. He returns to the days of his youth. 033:026 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy.

My life shall see the light.' 033:029 "Behold, God works all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man, 033:030 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living. 033:031 Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak. 033:032 If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you. 033:033 If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom." 034:001 Moreover Elihu answered, 034:002 "Hear my words, you wise men. Give ear to me, you who have knowledge. 034:003 For the ear tries words, as the palate tastes food. 034:004 Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good. 034:005 For Job has said, 'I am righteous, God has taken away my right: 034:006 Notwithstanding my right I am considered a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without disobedience.' 034:007 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
