When deep sleep falls on people,

While they slumber in their beds,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:16 -

Then He opens the ears of people,

And horrifies them with warnings,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:17 -

So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct,

And [fn]keep a man from pride;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:18 -

He keeps his soul back from the pit,

And his life from perishing by the spear.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:19 -

A person is also rebuked by pain in his bed,

And with constant complaint in his bones,

And his soul, food [fn]that he should crave.

And his life to those who bring death.

One out of a thousand,

To remind a person of what is [fn]right for him,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:24 -

And he is gracious to him, and says,

‘Free him from going down to the pit,

I have found a ransom’;

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 pray to God, and He will accept him,

So that he may see His face with joy,

And He will restore His righteousness to that person.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:27 -

“He will sing to people and say,

‘I have sinned and perverted what is right,

And it is not proper for me.

And my life will see the light.’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:30 -

To bring back his soul from the pit,

So that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

“Pay attention, Job, listen to me;

Keep silent, and let me speak.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:32 -

Then if [fn]you have anything to say, answer me;

Speak, for I would take pleasure in justifying you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:33 -

“If not, listen to me;

Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
