Job 32:17–22

¹⁰Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

¹⁰Therfore I sayd, Hearken to me: I also will shew mine opinion.

¹²Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

¹²Behold, in this thou art not iust: I will answere thee, That God is greater then man.

³For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

⁴I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

³For thou saydst, what aduantage will it bee vnto thee, and, what profite shall I haue, ^‖if I bee cleansed from my sinne?

^4†I will answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

³My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,

³My heart was hot within mee, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue.

²⁰For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

²⁰For wee cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.

¹⁴So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me.

¹⁵¶ Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

¹⁶And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

¹⁷Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

¹⁸When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

¹⁹Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

²⁰Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

²¹Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

²²¶ And the hand of the Lord was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.

²³Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.

²⁴Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.

²⁵But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:

²⁶And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

²⁷But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.

^14††So the spirit lifted me vp, and tooke me away, and I went in bitternesse, in the heate of my spirit, but the hand of the LORD was strong vpon mee.

¹⁵¶ Then I came to them of the captiuity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the riuer of Chebar, and I sate where they sate, and remained there astonished among them seuen daies.

¹⁶And it came to passe at the end of seuen dayes, that the word of the LORD came vnto me, saying;

^17*Sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore heare the word at my mouth, & giue them warning from me.

¹⁸When I say vnto the wicked; Thou shalt surely die, and thou giuest him not warning, nor speakest to warne the wicked from his wicked way to saue his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquitie: but his blood will I require at thine hand.

¹⁹Yet if thou warne the wicked, and he turne not from his wickednesse, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.

^20*†Againe, when a righteous man doth turne from his righteousnesse and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling blocke before him, he shall die: because thou hast not giuen him warning, he shall die in his sinne, and his righteousnesse which he hath done shal not be remembred: but his blood will I require at thine hand.

²¹Neuerthelesse if thou warne the righteous man, that the righteous sinne not, and he doth not sinne; he shall surely liue, because he is warned: also thou hast deliuered thy soule.

²²¶ And the hand of the LORD was there vpon me, and he said vnto me; Arise, goe forth into the plaine, and I will there talke with thee.

^23†Then I arose and went forth into the plaine, and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there as the glory which I saw by the riuer of Chebar, and I fell on my face.

²⁴Then the spirit entred into me, and set me vpon my feet, and spake with me, and said vnto me, Goe shut thy selfe within thine house.

²⁵But thou, O sonne of man, behold, they shall put bands vpon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not goe out among them.

^26†And I will make thy tongue cleaue to the roofe of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumme and shalt not be to them a reprouer: for they are a rebellious house.

²⁷But when I speake with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say vnto them; Thus saith the LORD God, He that heareth, let him heare, and he that forbeareth, let him forbeare: for they are a rebellious house.

⁹Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

^9**Then I said; I will not make mention of him, nor speake any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart, as a burning fire shut vp in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

¹³For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

¹⁴For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

¹³For whether wee bee besides our selues, it is to God: or whether we bee sober, it is for your cause.

¹⁴For the loue of Christ constreineth vs, because wee thus iudge: that if one died for all, then were all dead:

¹⁷Neither doe men put new wine into old bottels: else the bottels breake, and the wine runneth out, and the bottels perish: but they put new wine into new bottels, and both are preserued.

³Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

³Suffer me that I may speake, and after that I haue spoken, mocke on.

¹³Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

^13†Hold your peace, let me alone that I may speake, and let come on me what will.

¹⁹Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

²Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.

²Therefore doe my thoughts cause mee to answere, and for this ^†I make haste.

⁶Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

⁷For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

⁶Heare, for I will speake of excellent things: and the opening of my lippes shalbe right things.

^7†For my mouth shall speake truth, and wickednesse is an abomination to my lippes.

¹⁵¶ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

¹⁵¶ Ye shall doe no vnrighteousnes in iudgement; thou shalt not ^*respect the person of the poore, nor honour the person of the mightie: but in righteousnesse shalt thou iudge thy neighbour.

²²And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

²³And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
