Job 33:23-31 New English Translation (NET)

23. If there is an angel beside him,one mediator out of a thousand,to tell a person what constitutes his uprightness;

24. and if God is gracious to him and says,‘Spare him from going down to the place of corruption,I have found a ransom for him,’

25. then his flesh is restored like a youth’s;he returns to the days of his youthful vigor.

26. He entreats God, and God delights in him,he sees God’s face with rejoicing,and God restores to him his righteousness.

27. That person sings to others, saying:‘I have sinned and falsified what is right,but I was not punished according to what I deserved.

28. He redeemed my life from going down to the place of corruption,and my life sees the light!’

29. “Indeed, God does all these things,twice, three times, in his dealings with a person,

30. to turn back his life from the place of corruption,that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

31. Pay attention, Job – listen to me;be silent, and I will speak.
