Job 33:16-25 Then he openeth the ears of men , and sealeth their instruction,

16 H1540 Then he openeth [H8799] H241 the ears H582 of men H2856 , and sealeth [H8799] H4561 their instruction,

17 H5493 That he may withdraw [H8687] H120 man H4639 from his purpose H3680 , and hide [H8762] H1466 pride H1397 from man.

18 H2820 He keepeth back [H8799] H5315 his soul H7845 from the pit H2416 , and his life H5674 from perishing [H8800] H7973 by the sword.

19 H3198 He is chastened [H8717] H4341 also with pain H4904 upon his bed H7230 , and the multitude [H8675] H7379 H6106 of his bones H386 with strong pain :

20 H2416 So that his life H2092 abhorreth [H8765] H3899 bread H5315 , and his soul H8378 dainty H3978 meat.

21 H1320 His flesh H3615 is consumed away [H8799] H7210 , that it cannot be seen H6106 ; and his bones H7200 that were not seen [H8795] H8192 stick out [H8795] [H8675] H8205 .

22 H5315 Yea, his soul H7126 draweth near [H8799] H7845 unto the grave H2416 , and his life H4191 to the destroyers [H8688] .

23 H3426 If there H4397 be a messenger H3887 with him, an interpreter [H8688] H259 , one H505 among a thousand H5046 , to shew [H8687] H120 unto man H3476 his uprightness:

24 H2603 Then he is gracious [H8799] H559 unto him, and saith [H8799] H6308 , Deliver [H8798] H3381 him from going down [H8800] H7845 to the pit H4672 : I have found [H8804] H3724 a ransom.

25 H1320 His flesh H7375 shall be fresher [H8738] H5290 than a child's H7725 : he shall return [H8799] H3117 to the days H5934 of his youth:

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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, and the multitude 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 stick out. ²² Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. ²³ If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: ²⁴ Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. ²⁵ His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
