"to turn a person from his sin, and to cover a person’s pride."
— Job 33:17, NET Bible
“That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.”
“That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man; ”
“That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.”
“That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride.”
“In order that man may be turned from his evil works, and that pride may be taken away from him;”
“That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.”
Elihu Disagrees With Job’s View of God“For God speaks, the first time in one way, the second time in another, though a person does not perceive it.
In a dream, a night vision, when deep sleep falls on people as they sleep in their beds.
Then he gives a revelation to people, and terrifies them with warnings,
to turn a person from his sin, and to cover a person’s pride.
He spares a person’s life from corruption, his very life from crossing over the river.
Or a person is chastened by pain on his bed, and with the continual strife of his bones,
so that his life loathes food, and his soul rejects appetizing fare.
