Job 33:14–28

¹⁴For God speaketh once,

Yea twice, yet man ^pperceiveth it not.

^15qIn a dream, ^rin a vision of the night,

^rWhen deep sleep falleth upon men,

In slumberings upon the bed;

¹⁶Then he openeth the ears of men,

And ^ssealeth their instruction.

¹⁷That he may withdraw man from his purpose,

And hide ^tpride from man.

¹⁸He keepeth back his soul from the pit,

And his life from perishing by ^uthe sword.

¹⁹He is chastened also with pain upon his bed,

And the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

²⁰So that ^whis life abhorreth bread,

And his soul dainty meat.

²¹His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen;

And his bones that were not seen ^xstick out.

²²Yea, his ^ysoul draweth near unto the grave,

And his ^ylife to the destroyers.

²³If there be a ^zmessenger with him, an ^ainterpreter,

^bOne among ^ca thousand,

To shew unto man ^dhis uprightness:

²⁴Then he is gracious unto him, and saith,

Deliver him from going down to the pit:

I have ^efound a ransom.

^25fHis flesh shall be fresher than a child’s:

He ^fshall return to the days of his youth:

²⁶He shall ^gpray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him:

And ^hhe shall see his face ⁱwith joy:

For he will render unto man his righteousness.

²⁷He ^klooketh upon men, and if any ^lsay,

I ^mhave sinned, and ^mperverted that which was right,

And it profited me not;

²⁸He will deliver ⁿhis soul from going into the pit,

And his life ^oshall see the light.
