Job 33:1-13

1. 1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

2. 2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

3. 3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

4. 4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

5. 5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

6. 6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

7. 7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

8. 8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

9. 9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

10. 10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

11. 11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

12. 12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

13. 13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
