Job 33 (WEBP)

[1] “However, Job, please hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
[2] See now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
[3] My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
[4] The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
[5] If you can, answer me. Set your words in order before me, and stand up.
[6] Behold, I am toward God even as you are. I am also formed out of the clay.
[7] Behold, my terror will not make you afraid, neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
[8] “Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
[9] ‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
[10] Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
[11] He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’
[12] “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.
[13] Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
[14] For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.
[15] In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed,
[16] then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
[17] that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
[18] He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
[19] “He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,
[20] so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
[21] His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.
[22] Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
[23] “If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
[24] then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’
[25] His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
[26] He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy. He restores to man his righteousness.
[27] He sings before men, and says, ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it didn’t profit me.
[28] He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life will see the light.’
[29] “Behold, God does all these things, twice, yes three times, with a man,
[30] to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
[31] Mark well, Job, and listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will speak.
[32] If you have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify you.
[33] If not, listen to me. Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”

Job 33 (BYZ)

[1] ου μην δε αλλα ακουσον ιωβ τα ρηματα μου και λαλιαν ενωτιζου μου
[2] ιδου γαρ ηνοιξα το στομα μου και ελαλησεν η γλωσσα μου
[3] καθαρα μου η καρδια ρημασιν συνεσις δε χειλεων μου καθαρα νοησει
[4] πνευμα θειον το ποιησαν με πνοη δε παντοκρατορος η διδασκουσα με
[5] εαν δυνη δος μοι αποκρισιν προς ταυτα υπομεινον στηθι κατ εμε και εγω κατα σε
[6] εκ πηλου διηρτισαι συ ως και εγω εκ του αυτου διηρτισμεθα
[7] ουχ ο φοβος μου σε στροβησει ουδε η χειρ μου βαρεια εσται επι σοι
[8] πλην ειπας εν ωσιν μου φωνην ρηματων σου ακηκοα
[9] διοτι λεγεις καθαρος ειμι ουχ αμαρτων αμεμπτος δε ειμι ου γαρ ηνομησα
[10] μεμψιν δε κατ εμου ευρεν ηγηται δε με ωσπερ υπεναντιον
[11] εθετο δε εν ξυλω τον ποδα μου εφυλαξεν δε μου πασας τας οδους
[12] πως γαρ λεγεις δικαιος ειμι και ουκ επακηκοεν μου αιωνιος γαρ εστιν ο επανω βροτων
[13] λεγεις δε δια τι της δικης μου ουκ επακηκοεν παν ρημα
[14] εν γαρ τω απαξ λαλησαι ο κυριος εν δε τω δευτερω ενυπνιον
[15] η εν μελετη νυκτερινη ως οταν επιπιπτη δεινος φοβος επ ανθρωπους επι νυσταγματων επι κοιτης
[16] τοτε ανακαλυπτει νουν ανθρωπων εν ειδεσιν φοβου τοιουτοις αυτους εξεφοβησεν
[17] αποστρεψαι ανθρωπον εξ αδικιας το δε σωμα αυτου απο πτωματος ερρυσατο
[18] εφεισατο δε της ψυχης αυτου απο θανατου και μη πεσειν αυτον εν πολεμω
[19] παλιν δε ηλεγξεν αυτον εν μαλακια επι κοιτης και πληθος οστων αυτου εναρκησεν
[20] παν δε βρωτον σιτου ου μη δυνηται προσδεξασθαι και η ψυχη αυτου βρωσιν επιθυμησει
[21] εως αν σαπωσιν αυτου αι σαρκες και αποδειξη τα οστα αυτου κενα
[22] ηγγισεν δε εις θανατον η ψυχη αυτου η δε ζωη αυτου εν αδη
[23] εαν ωσιν χιλιοι αγγελοι θανατηφοροι εις αυτων ου μη τρωση αυτον εαν νοηση τη καρδια επιστραφηναι επι κυριον αναγγειλη δε ανθρωπω την εαυτου μεμψιν την δε ανοιαν αυτου δειξη
[24] ανθεξεται του μη πεσειν αυτον εις θανατον ανανεωσει δε αυτου το σωμα ωσπερ αλοιφην επι τοιχου τα δε οστα αυτου εμπλησει μυελου
[25] απαλυνει δε αυτου τας σαρκας ωσπερ νηπιου αποκαταστησει δε αυτον ανδρωθεντα εν ανθρωποις
[26] ευξαμενος δε προς κυριον και δεκτα αυτω εσται εισελευσεται δε προσωπω καθαρω συν εξηγορια αποδωσει δε ανθρωποις δικαιοσυνην
[27] ειτα τοτε απομεμψεται ανθρωπος αυτος εαυτω λεγων οια συνετελουν και ουκ αξια ητασεν με ων ημαρτον
[28] σωσον ψυχην μου του μη ελθειν εις διαφθοραν και η ζωη μου φως οψεται
[29] ιδου παντα ταυτα εργαται ο ισχυρος οδους τρεις μετα ανδρος
[30] αλλ ερρυσατο την ψυχην μου εκ θανατου ινα η ζωη μου εν φωτι αινη αυτον
[31] ενωτιζου ιωβ και ακουε μου κωφευσον και εγω ειμι λαλησω
[32] ει εισιν λογοι αποκριθητι μοι λαλησον θελω γαρ δικαιωθηναι σε
[33] ει μη συ ακουσον μου κωφευσον και διδαξω σε σοφιαν
