욥 32~37 내 연구 노트 · 구약

^32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

^32:2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

^32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

^32:4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.

^32:5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

^32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

^32:7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

^32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

^32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

^32:10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

^32:11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

^32:12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

^32:13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

^32:14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

^32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

^32:16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

^32:17 I said , I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

^32:18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

^32:19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

^32:20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

^32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

^32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

^33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

^33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

^33:3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

^33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

^33:5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

^33:6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

^33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

^33:8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying ,

^33:9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

^33:10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

^33:11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

^33:12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

^33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

^33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

^33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

^33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

^33:17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

^33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
