33:29“Indeed, God does all these things,
twice, three times, in his dealings52 with a person,
33:30to turn back his life from the place of corruption,
that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
33:31Pay attention, Job—listen to me;
be silent, and I will speak.
33:32If you have any words,53 reply to me;
speak, for I want to justify you.54
33:33If not, you listen to me;
be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”

God certainly does all these things
two or three times to a person
in order to turn him back from the Pit,
so he may shine with the light of life.
Pay attention, Job, and listen to me.

But if you have something to say, answer me;

If not, then listen to me;
be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.

He rescues them from the grave

But if you have anything to say, go ahead.
Speak, for I am anxious to see you justified.
But if not, then listen to me.
Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom!”
