Job 33:12-22

Job 33:12-22

[12] Behold, in this thou art not just:  I will answer  thee, that God  is greater  than man.  [13] Why dost thou strive  against him? for he giveth not account  of any of his matters.  [14] For God  speaketh  once,  yea twice,  yet man perceiveth  [15] In a dream,  in a vision  of the night,  when deep  sleep falleth  in slumberings  upon the bed;  [16] Then he openeth  the ears  of men,  and sealeth  their instruction,  [17] That he may withdraw  man  from his purpose,  and hide  pride  from man.  [18] He keepeth back  his soul  from the pit,  and his life  from perishing  by the sword.  [19] He is chastened  also with pain  upon his bed,  of his bones  with strong  pain: [20] So that his life  abhorreth  bread,  and his soul  dainty  meat.  [21] His flesh  is consumed away,  that it cannot be seen;  and his bones  that were not seen  [22] Yea, his soul  draweth near  unto the grave,  and his life  to the destroyers.
