‘s place: I also am formed out of the clay.
33:7 See, my terror shall not frighten you, neither shall my hand be heavy on you.
33:8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the sound of your words, saying,
33:9 I am clean without offense, I am pure; and no  iniquity is in me.
33:10 See, he finds opposition on me, he considers me His enemy,
33:11 He puts my feet in the stocks, he observes all my paths.
33:12 See,
you are not in the right [on] this : I will answer you, that Eloahאֱלוֹהַּ

speaks once, yes twice, yet no man notices it.
33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while sleeping on the bed;
33:16 Then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
33:17 That He may turn away man [from his] work, and conceal pride from man.
33:18 He spare his soul from the Pit, and his life passing over by the sword.
33:19 He is
also punished with pain on his bed, and the cause of strong pain in his bones:
33:20 So that his life hates bread, and his soul desires food.
33:21 His flesh wastes away, it can’t be seen; and his bones that weren’t seen stick out.
33:22 Yes, his soul draws near to the Pit, and his life to the destroyers.
33:23 If there is a messenger for him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to declare for man his uprightness:
33:24 Then He is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pit: I have found a ransom.
33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than in boyhood: he shall return to the days of his youth:
33:26 He shall pray to Eloahאֱלוֹהַּ

, and He will be pleased with him: and he shall see His face with joy: for He will restore to man his righteousness.
33:27 He observes men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it not equally repaid to me;
33:28 He has delivered my soul from passing over into the Pit, and my life shall see the light.
33:29 Look, all these things EL אֵל
‎Transliteration:ēl Pronunciation:ale — masculine noun — God, god-like one, mighty one occurs 245 times in 235 verses in the WLC Hebrew click here
does repeatedly with man,
33:30 To bring back his soul from the Pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
33:31 Take heed, O Job, listen to me: hold your peace, and I will speak.
33:32 If you have anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify you.
33:33 If not, you listen to me: hold your peace, and I will teach you wisdom.
