24. He will take pity on him and say,“Deliver him from going down to the pit;I have found him a ransom.”
25. Then his flesh shall become soft as a boy’s;he shall be again as in the days of his youth.
26. He shall pray and God will favor him;he shall see God’s face with rejoicing;for he restores a person’s righteousness.
27. He shall sing before all and say,“I sinned and did wrong,yet I was not punished accordingly.
28. He delivered me from passing to the pit,and my life sees light.”
29. See, all these things God does,two, even three times, for a man,
30. Bringing back his soul from the pitto the light, in the light of the living.
31. Be attentive, Job, listen to me!Be silent and I will speak.
32. If you have anything to say, then answer me.Speak out! I should like to see you justified.
33. If not, then you listen to me;be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.
