(English Standard Version)

  • 1 "But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.
  • 2 Behold, I open my mouth; the tongue in my mouth speaks.
  • 3 My words declare the uprightness of my heart, and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
  • 4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
  • 5 Answer me, if you can; set your words in order before me; take your stand.
  • 6 Behold, I am toward God as you are; I too was pinched off from a piece of clay.
  • 7 Behold, no fear of me need terrify you; my pressure will not be heavy upon you.
  • 8 "Surely you have spoken in my ears, and I have heard the sound of your words.
  • 9 You say, 'I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
  • 10 Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me as his enemy,
  • 11 he puts my feet in the stocks and watches all my paths.'
  • 12 "Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
  • 13 Why do you contend against him, saying, 'He will answer none of man's words'?
  • 14 For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.
  • 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds,
  • 16 then he opens the ears of men and terrifies them with warnings,
  • 17 that he may turn man aside from his deed and conceal pride from a man;
  • 18 he keeps back his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword.
  • 19 "Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed and with continual strife in his bones,
  • 20 so that his life loathes bread, and his appetite the choicest food.
  • 21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen, and his bones that were not seen stick out.
  • 22 His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death.
  • 23 If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him,
  • 24 and he is merciful to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom;
  • 25 let his flesh become fresh with youth; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor';
  • 26 then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness.
  • 27 He sings before men and says: 'I sinned and perverted what was right, and it was not repaid to me.
  • 28 He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light.'
  • 29 "Behold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man,
  • 30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be lighted with the light of life.
  • 31 Pay attention, O Job, listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
  • 32 If you have any words, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify you.
  • 33 If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom."
