Job 33:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 33:6

Compare all

4 ^aThe Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

5 If you can answer me,
Set your words in order before me;
Take your stand.

6 ^aTruly I am¹ as your spokesman before God;
I also have been formed out of clay.

7 ^aSurely no fear of me will terrify you,
Nor will my hand be heavy on you.

8 “Surely you have spoken¹ in my hearing,
And I have heard the sound of your words, saying,

9 ‘I^a am pure, without transgression;
I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.

10 Yet He finds occasions against me,
^aHe counts me as His enemy;

11 ^aHe puts my feet in the stocks,
He watches all my paths.’

12 “Look, in this you are not righteous.
I will answer you,
For God is greater than man.

13 Why do you ^acontend with Him?
For He does not give an accounting of any of His words.

14 ^aFor God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.

15 ^aIn a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,

16 ^aThen He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
