Job 32:6--33:33

32:6

And Elihu
<0453>

the son
<01121>

of Barachel
<01292>

the Buzite
<0940>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] young
<06810> <03117>_,

and ye [are] very old
<03453>_;

wherefore I was afraid
<02119> (8804)_,

and durst
<03372> (8799)

not shew
<02331> (8763)

you mine opinion
<01843>_.

{young: Heb. few of days} {durst...: Heb. feared}

32:7

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Days
<03117>

should speak
<01696> (8762)_,

and multitude
<07230>

of years
<08141>

should teach
<03045> (8686)

wisdom
<02451>_.

32:8

But
<0403>

[there is] a spirit
<07307>

in man
<0582>_:

and the inspiration
<05397>

of the Almighty
<07706>

giveth them understanding
<0995> (8799)_.

32:9

Great men
<07227>

are not [always] wise
<02449> (8799)_:

neither do the aged
<02205>

understand
<0995> (8799)

judgment
<04941>_.

32:10

Therefore I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

to me; I also will shew
<02331> (8762)

mine opinion
<01843>_.

32:11

Behold, I waited
<03176> (8689)

for your words
<01697>_;

I gave ear
<0238> (8686)

to your reasons
<08394>_,

whilst ye searched out
<02713> (8799)

what to say
<04405>_.

{reasons: Heb. understandings} {what...: Heb. words}

32:12

Yea, I attended
<0995> (8709)

unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced
<03198> (8688)

Job
<0347>_,

[or] that answered
<06030> (8802)

his words
<0561>_:

32:13

Lest ye should say
<0559> (8799)_,

We have found out
<04672> (8804)

wisdom
<02451>_:

God
<0410>

thrusteth him down
<05086> (8799)_,

not man
<0376>_.

32:14

Now he hath not directed
<06186> (8804)

[his] words
<04405>

against me: neither will I answer
<07725> (8686)

him with your speeches
<0561>_.

{directed: or, ordered}

32:15

They were amazed
<02865> (8804)_,

they answered
<06030> (8804)

no more: they left off
<06275> (8689)

speaking
<04405>_.

{left...: Heb. removed speeches from themselves}

32:16

When I had waited
<03176> (8689)_,

(for they spake
<01696> (8762)

not, but stood still
<05975> (8804)_,

[and] answered
<06030> (8804)

no more;)

32:17

[I said], I will answer
<06030> (8799)

also my part
<02506>_,

I also will shew
<02331> (8762)

mine opinion
<01843>_.

32:18

For I am full
<04390> (8804)

of matter
<04405>_,

the spirit
<07307>

within
<0990>

me constraineth
<06693> (8689)

me. {matter: Heb. words} {spirit...: Heb. spirit of my belly}

32:19

Behold, my belly
<0990>

[is] as wine
<03196>

[which] hath no vent
<06605> (8735)_;

it is ready to burst
<01234> (8735)

like new
<02319>

bottles
<0178>_.

{hath...: Heb. is not opened}

32:20

I will speak
<01696> (8762)_,

that I may be refreshed
<07304> (8799)_:

I will open
<06605> (8799)

my lips
<08193>

and answer
<06030> (8799)_.

{be...: Heb. breathe}

32:21

Let me not, I pray you, accept
<05375> (8799)

any man's
<0376>

person
<06440>_,

neither let me give flattering titles
<03655> (8762)

unto man
<0120>_.

32:22

For I know
<03045> (8804)

not to give flattering titles
<03655> (8762)_;

[in so doing] my maker
<06213> (8802)

would soon
<04592>

take me away
<05375> (8799)_.

33:1

Wherefore
<0199>_,

Job
<0347>_,

I pray thee, hear
<08085> (8798)

my speeches
<04405>_,

and hearken
<0238> (8685)

to all my words
<01697>_.

33:2

Behold, now I have opened
<06605> (8804)

my mouth
<06310>_,

my tongue
<03956>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

in my mouth
<02441>_.

{in my mouth: Heb. in my palate}

33:3

My words
<0561>

[shall be of] the uprightness
<03476>

of my heart
<03820>_:

and my lips
<08193>

shall utter
<04448> (8765)

knowledge
<01847>

clearly
<01305> (8803)_.

33:4

The Spirit
<07307>

of God
<0410>

hath made
<06213> (8804)

me, and the breath
<05397>

of the Almighty
<07706>

hath given me life
<02421> (8762)_.

33:5

If thou canst
<03201> (8799)

answer
<07725> (8687)

me, set [thy words] in order
<06186> (8798)

before
<06440>

me, stand up
<03320> (8690)_.

33:6

Behold, I [am] according to thy wish
<06310>

in God's
<0410>

stead: I also am formed
<07169> (8795)

out of the clay
<02563>_.

{wish: Heb. mouth} {formed: Heb. cut}

33:7

Behold, my terror
<0367>

shall not make thee afraid
<01204> (8762)_,

neither shall my hand
<0405>

be heavy
<03513> (8799)

upon thee.

33:8

Surely thou hast spoken
<0559> (8804)

in mine hearing
<0241>_,

and I have heard
<08085> (8799)

the voice
<06963>

of [thy] words
<04405>_,

[saying], {hearing: Heb. ears}

33:9

I am clean
<02134>

without transgression
<06588>_,

I [am] innocent
<02643>_;

neither [is there] iniquity
<05771>

in me.

33:10

Behold, he findeth
<04672> (8799)

occasions
<08569>

against me, he counteth
<02803> (8799)

me for his enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

33:11

He putteth
<07760> (8799)

my feet
<07272>

in the stocks
<05465>_,

he marketh
<08104> (8799)

all my paths
<0734>_.

33:12

Behold, [in] this thou art not just
<06663> (8804)_:

I will answer
<06030> (8799)

thee, that God
<0433>

is greater
<07235> (8799)

than man
<0582>_.

33:13

Why dost thou strive
<07378> (8804)

against him? for he giveth not account
<06030> (8799)

of any of his matters
<01697>_.

{he giveth...: Heb. he answereth not}

33:14

For God
<0410>

speaketh
<01696> (8762)

once
<0259>_,

yea twice
<08147>_,

[yet man] perceiveth
<07789> (8799)

it not.

33:15

In a dream
<02472>_,

in a vision
<02384>

of the night
<03915>_,

when deep
<08639>

sleep falleth
<05307> (8800)

upon men
<0582>_,

in slumberings
<08572>

upon the bed
<04904>_;

33:16

Then he openeth
<01540> (8799)

the ears
<0241>

of men
<0582>_,

and sealeth
<02856> (8799)

their instruction
<04561>_,

{he...: Heb. he revealeth, or, uncovereth}

33:17

That he may withdraw
<05493> (8687)

man
<0120>

[from his] purpose
<04639>_,

and hide
<03680> (8762)

pride
<01466>

from man
<01397>_.

{purpose: Heb. work}

33:18

He keepeth back
<02820> (8799)

his soul
<05315>

from the pit
<07845>_,

and his life
<02416>

from perishing
<05674> (8800)

by the sword
<07973>_.

{from perishing: Heb. from passing}

33:19

He is chastened
<03198> (8717)

also with pain
<04341>

upon his bed
<04904>_,

and the multitude
<07230> (8675) <07379>

of his bones
<06106>

with strong
<0386>

[pain]:

33:20

So that his life
<02416>

abhorreth
<02092> (8765)

bread
<03899>_,

and his soul
<05315>

dainty
<08378>

meat
<03978>_.

{dainty...: Heb. meat of desire}

33:21

His flesh
<01320>

is consumed away
<03615> (8799)_,

that it cannot be seen
<07210>_;

and his bones
<06106>

[that] were not seen
<07200> (8795)

stick out
<08192> (8795) (8675) <08205>_.

33:22

Yea, his soul
<05315>

draweth near
<07126> (8799)

unto the grave
<07845>_,

and his life
<02416>

to the destroyers
<04191> (8688)_.

33:23

If there
<03426>

be a messenger
<04397>

with him, an interpreter
<03887> (8688)_,

one
<0259>

among a thousand
<0505>_,

to shew
<05046> (8687)

unto man
<0120>

his uprightness
<03476>_:

33:24

Then he is gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto him, and saith
<0559> (8799)_,

Deliver
<06308> (8798)

him from going down
<03381> (8800)

to the pit
<07845>_:

I have found
<04672> (8804)

a ransom
<03724>_.

{a ransom: or, an atonement}

33:25

His flesh
<01320>

shall be fresher
<07375> (8738)

than a child's
<05290>_:

he shall return
<07725> (8799)

to the days
<03117>

of his youth
<05934>_:

{a child's: Heb. childhood}

33:26

He shall pray
<06279> (8799)

unto God
<0433>_,

and he will be favourable
<07521> (8799)

unto him: and he shall see
<07200> (8799)

his face
<06440>

with joy
<08643>_:

for he will render
<07725> (8686)

unto man
<0582>

his righteousness
<06666>_.

33:27

He looketh
<07789> (8799)

upon men
<0582>_,

and [if any] say
<0559> (8799)_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and perverted
<05753> (8689)

[that which was] right
<03477>_,

and it profited
<07737> (8804)

me not; {He...: or, He shall look upon men, and say}

33:28

He will deliver
<06299> (8804)

his soul
<05315>

from going
<05674> (8800)

into the pit
<07845>_,

and his life
<02416>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

the light
<0216>_.

{He...: or, He hath delivered my soul, etc, and my life}

33:29

Lo, all these [things] worketh
<06466> (8799)

God
<0410>

oftentimes
<06471> <07969>

with man
<01397>_,

{oftentimes: Heb. twice and thrice}

33:30

To bring back
<07725> (8687)

his soul
<05315>

from the pit
<07845>_,

to be enlightened
<0215> (8736)

with the light
<0216>

of the living
<02416>_.

33:31

Mark well
<07181> (8685)_,

O Job
<0347>_,

hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me: hold thy peace
<02790> (8685)_,

and I will speak
<01696> (8762)_.

33:32

If thou hast
<03426>

any thing to say
<04405>_,

answer
<07725> (8685)

me: speak
<01696> (8761)_,

for I desire
<02654> (8804)

to justify
<06663> (8763)

thee.

33:33

If not, hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me: hold thy peace
<02790> (8685)_,

and I shall teach
<0502> (8762)

thee wisdom
<02451>_.
