Bible in Basic English

26

He makes his prayer to God, and he has mercy on him; he sees God's face with cries of joy; he gives news of his righteousness to men;

27

He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin.

28

He kept my soul from the underworld, and my life sees the light in full measure.

29

Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times,

30

Keeping back his soul from the underworld, so that he may see the light of life.

Take note O Job, give ear to me; keep quiet, while I say what is in my mind.

32

If you have anything to say, give me an answer; for it is my desire that you may be judged free from sin.

33

If not, give attention to me, and keep quiet, and I will give you wisdom.

KJV
“He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak. If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom. ”
