Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 33:1 | However, Job, now hear my speech and listen to all my words. |
| 33:2 | Behold, now I have opened my mouth; my tongue has spoken in my mouth. |
| 33:3 | My words shall be from my upright heart; and my lips will clearly speak knowledge. |
| 33:4 | The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. |
| 33:5 | If you are able, answer me; set yourself in order before me. Stand up! |
| 33:6 | Behold, I am toward God as you; I also was formed from the clay. |
| 33:7 | Behold, my terror shall not frighten you; and my burden shall not be heavy on you. |
| 33:8 | Surely you have spoken in my ears, and I have heard the sound of words. |
| 33:9 | You said , I am pure, without transgression; I am clean and no iniquity is in me; |
| 33:10 | behold, He finds alienation on me; He considers me His enemy; |
| 33:11 | He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches all my paths. |
| 33:12 | Behold, you are not right in this. I will answer you, for God is greater than man. |
| 33:13 | Why do you contend against Him, since He does not give account to you for any of His matters? |
| 33:14 | For in one way God may speak, and in a second, but one does not notice it. |
| 33:15 | In a dream, a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men; while they slumber on the bed, |
| 33:16 | then He opens the ear of men and seals their instruction, |
| 33:17 | that He may turn man from his deed; that He might conceal pride from man. |
| 33:18 | He holds back his soul from the Pit, and his life from passing by the sword. |
| 33:19 | He is also chastened with pain on his bed, and enduring strife in his bones; |
| 33:20 | so that his life loathes bread, and his soul desirable food. |
| 33:21 | His flesh wastes away from his sight; and his hones laid bare, they were not seen. |
| 33:22 | Yea, his soul draws near to the Pit, and his life to the dealers of death. |
| 33:23 | If there is a messenger for him, a mediator, one among a thousand, to declare for man his uprightness, |
| 33:24 | then let Him be gracious to him and say, Deliver him from going down to the Pit, for I have found a ransom! |
| 33:25 | His flesh shall be fresher than in vigor; let him return to the days of his youth. |
| 33:26 | He will pray to God, and He will accept him, and he will see His face with exultation; for He will restore to man his righteousness. |
| 33:27 | He will observe to men and say, I have sinned, and I have perverted uprightness; and it was not equally repaid to me; |
| 33:28 | He has redeemed my soul from passing over into the Pit, and my life shall see the light. |
| 33:29 | Lo, all these God does two or three times with a man, |
| 33:30 | to bring back his soul from the Pit, to be illuminated with the light of the living. |
| 33:31 | Pay attention, O Job; listen to me; be silent, and I will speak. |
| 33:32 | If you have anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify you. |
| 33:33 | If not, you listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom. |
