When deep sleep falls on men,

While they slumber in their beds,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:16 -

Then He opens the ears of men,

And seals in their discipline,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:17 -

That He may turn man aside from his conduct,

And [fn]keep man from pride;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:18 -

He holds back his soul from the pit,

And his life from passing over [fn]to death by a weapon.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:19 -

[fn]Man is also reproved with pain on his bed,

And with unceasing contention in his bones,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:20 -

So that his life loathes bread,

And his soul favorite food.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:21 -

“His flesh wastes away from sight,

And his bones which were not seen stick out.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:22 -

“Then his soul draws near to the pit,

And his life to those who bring death.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:23 -

“If there is an angel as mediator for him,

One out of a thousand,

To declare to a man what is [fn]right for him,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:24 -

Then let him be gracious to him, and say,

‘Deliver him from going down to the pit;

I have found atonement’;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:25 -

Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,

Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:26 -

Then he will entreat God, and He will accept him,

And he will see His face with joyful shouts,

And He may restore His righteousness to man.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:27 -

“He will sing to men and say,

‘I have sinned and perverted what is right,

But He has not done what is due to me.

And my life shall see the light.’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:30 -

To bring back his soul from the pit,

That he may be enlightened with the light of life.

“Pay attention, O Job, listen to me;

Keep silent, and I will speak.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:32 -

Then if [fn]you have any speech, respond to me;

Speak, for I desire to prove you righteous.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:33 -

“If not, listen to me;

Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
