Job 33:2-17
-
2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
-
3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
-
4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
-
5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
-
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
-
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
-
8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
-
9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
-
10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
-
11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
-
12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
-
13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
-
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
-
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
-
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
-
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
