Hiob 33
Schlachter 1951
Elihu verkündet das Heilswerk Gottes
33 Doch höre nun, Hiob, meine Rede,
und fasse alle meine Worte!
2 Siehe doch, ich öffne meinen Mund,
es redet die Zunge an meinem Gaumen;
3 Meine Reden kommen aus aufrichtigem Herzen,
und meine Lippen sprechen lautere Wahrheit aus.
4 Der Geist Gottes hat mich gemacht,
und der Odem des Allmächtigen belebt mich.
5 Kannst du es, so widerlege mich;
rüste dich, tritt vor mich hin!
6 Siehe, ich stehe zu Gott, gleich wie du;
auch ich bin vom Lehm genommen.
7 Siehe, Furcht vor mir soll dich nicht schrecken,
und ich will dir nicht lästig sein.
8 Nun hast du vor meinen Ohren gesagt,
und ich habe deine eigenen Worte gehört:
9 „Rein bin ich, ohne Vergehen,
unbefleckt und ohne Schuld!
10 Siehe, er erfindet Beschuldigungen gegen mich,
er hält mich für seinen Feind;
11 er legt meine Füße in den Stock
und lauert auf alle meine Schritte.“
12 Siehe, das sagst du nicht mit Recht, darauf muß ich dir antworten;
denn Gott ist größer als der Mensch.
13 Warum haderst du denn mit ihm,
da er doch keine seiner Taten zu verantworten hat?
14 Sondern Gott redet einmal
und zum zweitenmal, aber man beachtet es nicht.
15 Im Traum, im Nachtgesicht,
wenn tiefer Schlaf die Menschen befällt
und sie in ihren Betten schlafen,
16 da öffnet er das Ohr der Menschen
und besiegelt seine Warnung an sie,
17 damit der Mensch von seinem Tun abstehe
und er den Mann vor Übermut beschütze,
18 daß er seine Seele von der Grube zurückhalte,
und sein Leben, daß er nicht renne ins Geschoß.
19 Er züchtigt ihn mit Schmerzen auf seinem Lager,
ein hartes Gericht geht über seinen Leib,
20 daß ihm das Brot zum Ekel wird,
seiner Seele die Lieblingsspeise;
21 sein Fleisch schwindet dahin, man sieht es nicht mehr,
und seine Gebeine, die man sonst nicht sah, werden bloß;
22 seine Seele naht sich der Grube
und sein Leben den Todesmächten.
23 Wenn es dann für ihn einen Engel gibt, einen Mittler,
einen aus Tausenden,
der dem Menschen verkündigt seine Gerechtigkeit;
24 wenn er sich über ihn erbarmt und spricht:
„Erlöse ihn, daß er nicht zur Grube hinabfahre;
ich habe ein Lösegeld gefunden!“
25 Alsdann wird sein Fleisch wieder grünen von Jugendfrische,
er wird wiederkehren zu den Tagen seiner Jugend;
26 er wird zu Gott bitten, der wird ihm gnädig sein,
ihn sein Angesicht mit Jauchzen sehen lassen
und dem Menschen seine Gerechtigkeit wiedergeben.
27 Er wird singen vor den Menschen und sagen:
Ich hatte gesündigt und das Recht verkehrt;
aber er hat mir nicht vergolten nach Verdienst;
28 er hat meine Seele erlöst, daß sie nicht in die Grube gefahren ist,
so daß mein Leben das Licht wieder sieht!
29 Siehe, dies alles tut Gott
zwei- oder dreimal mit dem Menschen,
30 daß er seine Seele vom Verderben herumhole
und ihn erleuchte mit dem Lichte der Lebendigen.
31 Merke auf, Hiob, höre mir zu,
schweige, und ich will reden!
32 Hast du aber Worte, so antworte mir,
sage her, denn ich wünsche deine Rechtfertigung;
33 wo aber nicht, so höre mir zu, schweige,
und ich will dich Weisheit lehren!

Job 33
New International Version
33 “But now, Job, listen(A) to my words;
pay attention to everything I say.(B)
2 I am about to open my mouth;
my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3 My words come from an upright heart;(C)
my lips sincerely speak what I know.(D)
4 The Spirit(E) of God has made me;(F)
the breath of the Almighty(G) gives me life.(H)
5 Answer me(I) then, if you can;
stand up(J) and argue your case before me.(K)
6 I am the same as you in God’s sight;(L)
I too am a piece of clay.(M)
7 No fear of me should alarm you,
nor should my hand be heavy on you.(N)
8 “But you have said in my hearing—
I heard the very words—
9 ‘I am pure,(O) I have done no wrong;(P)
I am clean and free from sin.(Q)
10 Yet God has found fault with me;
he considers me his enemy.(R)
11 He fastens my feet in shackles;(S)
he keeps close watch on all my paths.’(T)
12 “But I tell you, in this you are not right,
for God is greater than any mortal.(U)
13 Why do you complain to him(V)
that he responds to no one’s words[a]?(W)
14 For God does speak(X)—now one way, now another(Y)—
though no one perceives it.(Z)
15 In a dream,(AA) in a vision(AB) of the night,(AC)
when deep sleep(AD) falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak(AE) in their ears
and terrify them(AF) with warnings,(AG)
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,(AH)
18 to preserve them from the pit,(AI)
their lives from perishing by the sword.[b](AJ)
19 “Or someone may be chastened(AK) on a bed of pain(AL)
with constant distress in their bones,(AM)
20 so that their body finds food(AN) repulsive
and their soul loathes the choicest meal.(AO)
21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing,
and their bones,(AP) once hidden, now stick out.(AQ)
22 They draw near to the pit,(AR)
and their life to the messengers of death.[c](AS)
23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,
a messenger,(AT) one out of a thousand,
sent to tell them how to be upright,(AU)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
‘Spare them from going down to the pit;(AV)
I have found a ransom for them(AW)—
25 let their flesh be renewed(AX) like a child’s;
let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(AY)—
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(AZ)
they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(BA)
he will restore them to full well-being.(BB)
27 And they will go to others and say,
‘I have sinned,(BC) I have perverted what is right,(BD)
but I did not get what I deserved.(BE)
28 God has delivered(BF) me from going down to the pit,(BG)
and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’(BH)

Elihu Claims to Speak for God
33 “However, Job, please listen to my words,
And pay attention to everything I say.
2
“Behold, I have opened my mouth [to begin my speech];
My tongue in my mouth is going to speak.
3
“My words will express the uprightness of my heart,
And my lips will speak what they know with utter sincerity.
4
“The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of [a]the Almighty gives me life [which inspires me].
5
“Answer me, if you can;
Set yourselves before me, take your stand.
6
“Behold, I belong to God like you;
I too was formed out of the clay.
7
“Behold, I will not make you afraid or terrified of me [for I am only mortal and not God],
Nor should any pressure from me weigh heavily upon you.
8
“Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
And I have heard the sound of your words, saying:
9
‘I am pure, without transgression;
I am innocent and there is no guilt in me.
10
‘Behold, God finds pretexts against me;
He counts me as His enemy.
11
‘He puts my feet in the stocks [to hinder and humiliate me];
He [suspiciously] watches all my paths,’ [you say].
12
“Look, let me answer you, in this you are not right or just;
For God is greater and far superior to man.
13
“Why do you complain against Him?
That He does not answer [you with] all His doings.
14
“For God speaks once,
And even twice, yet no one notices it [including you, Job].
15
“In a dream, a vision of the night [one may hear God’s voice],
When deep sleep falls on men
While slumbering upon the bed,
16
Then He opens the ears of men
And seals their instruction,
17
That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And keep him from pride;
18
He holds back his soul from the pit [of destruction],
And his life from passing over into Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).
19
“Man is also disciplined with pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint in his bones,
20
So that his life makes him loathe food,
And his soul [loathe] even his favorite dishes.
21
“His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
And his bones which were not seen now stick out.
22
“Then his soul draws near to the pit [of destruction],
And his life to those who bring death (the destroyers).
23
“If there is an angel as a mediator for him,
One out of a thousand,
To explain to a man what is right for him [that is, how to be in right standing with God],
24
Then [b]the angel is gracious to him, and says,
‘Spare him from going down to the pit [of destruction];
I have found a ransom [a consideration, or reason for redemption, an atonement]!’
25
“Let his flesh be restored and become fresher than in youth;
Let him return to the days of his youthful strength.
26
“He will pray to God, and He shall be favorable to him,
So that he looks at His face with joy;
For God restores to man His righteousness [that is, his right standing with God—with its joys].
27
“He sings out to other men,
‘I have sinned and perverted that which was right,
And it was not proper for me!
28
‘God has redeemed my life from going to the pit [of destruction],
And my life shall see the light.’”
29
[Elihu comments,] “Behold, God does all these things [c]twice, yes, three times, with a man,
30
To bring his life back from the pit [of destruction],
That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31
“Pay attention, Job, listen to me;
Keep silent, and I will speak.
32
“If you have anything to say, answer me;
Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33
“If not [and you have nothing to say], listen to me;
Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”

33 “However, Job, please hear my speech,
and listen to all my words.
2 See now, I have opened my mouth.
My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 My words will utter the uprightness of my heart.
That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
4 The 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, and stand up.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as you are.
I am also formed out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terror will not make you afraid,
neither will my pressure be heavy on you.
8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9 ‘I am clean, without disobedience.
I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me.
He counts me for his enemy.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks.
He marks all my paths.’
12 “Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just,
for God is greater than man.
13 Why do you strive against him,
because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?
14 For God speaks once,
yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
in slumbering on the bed,
16 then he opens the ears of men,
and seals their instruction,
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose,
and hide pride from man.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit,
and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed,
with continual strife in his bones,
20 so that his life abhors bread,
and his soul dainty food.
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen.
His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit,
and his life to the destroyers.
23 “If there is beside him an angel,
an interpreter, one among a thousand,
to show to man what is right for him,
24 then God is gracious to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down to the pit,
I have found a ransom.’
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s.
He returns to the days of his youth.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him,
so that he sees his face with joy.
He restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men, and says,
‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
and it didn’t profit me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit.
My life will see the light.’
29 “Behold, God does all these things,
twice, yes three times, with a man,
30 to bring back his soul from the pit,
that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Mark well, Job, and listen to me.
Hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me.
Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, listen to me.
Hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.”
