23. Surely there’s a messenger for this person,a mediator, one out of a thousandto declare one’s integrity to another
24. so that God has compassion on that person and says,"Rescue this one from going down to the pit;I have found a ransom."
25. That person’s flesh is renewed like a child’s;they regain their youth.
26. They pray to God, and God is pleased with them;they behold God’s presencewith a joyful shout.God rewards a person’s righteousness.
27. They sing before people and say:"I have sinned, perverted justice,but didn’t experience the consequences.
28. He ransomed me from crossing into the pit;my life beholds light."
29. Look, God does all this,twice, three times with persons
30. to bring them back from the pit,to shine with life’s light.
31. Listen, Job; hear me;be quiet, and I will speak.
32. If you have words, answer me;speak, for I want to be innocent.
33. If not, you must hear me;be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.
