Job:33:17-26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
That he may withdraw man from his purpose ,
and hide pride from man .
*
He keepeth back his soul from the pit ,
and his life from perishing by the sword .
*
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed ,
and the multitude of his bones with strong pain :
*
So that his life abhorreth bread ,
and his soul dainty meat .
*
His flesh is consumed away ,
that it cannot be seen ;
and his bones that were not seen stick out .
*
Yea ,
his soul draweth near unto the grave ,
and his life to the destroyers .
*
If there be a messenger with him ,
an interpreter ,
one among a thousand ,
to shew unto man his uprightness :
*
Then he is gracious unto him ,
and saith ,
Deliver him from going down to the pit :
I have found a ransom .
*
His flesh shall be fresher than a child '
s :
he shall return to the days of his youth :
*
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 .
