Job:33:16-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
then he opens the ears of men ,
and terrifies them with warnings ,
*
that he may turn man aside from his deed ,
and cut off pride from man ;
*
he keeps back his soul from the Pit ,
his life from perishing by the sword .
* "
Man is also chastened with pain upon his bed ,
and with continual strife in his bones ;
*
so that his life loathes bread ,
and his appetite dainty food .
*
His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen ;
and his bones which were not seen stick out .
*
His soul draws near the Pit ,
and his life to those who bring death .
*
If there be for him an angel ,
a mediator ,
one of the thousand ,
to declare to man what is right for him ;
*
and he is gracious to him ,
and says , `
eliver him from going down into the Pit ,
I have found a ransom ;
*
let his flesh become fresh with youth ;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor ';
*
then man prays to God ,
and he accepts him ,
he comes into his presence with joy .
He recounts to men his salvation ,
*
and he sings before men ,
and says : `
d perverted what was right ,
and it was not requited to me .
*
He has redeemed my soul from going down into the Pit ,
and my life shall see the light .'
* "
Behold ,
God does all these things ,
twice ,
three times ,
with a man ,
*
to bring back his soul from the Pit ,
that he may see the light of life .
