Job:33:16-30
rsv@Job:33:16 @ then he opens the ears of men, and terrifies them with warnings,
rsv@Job:33:17 @ that he may turn man aside from his deed, and cut off pride from man;
rsv@Job:33:18 @ he keeps back his soul from the Pit, his life from perishing by the sword.
rsv@Job:33:19 @ "Man is also chastened with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones;
rsv@Job:33:20 @ so that his life loathes bread, and his appetite dainty food.
rsv@Job:33:21 @ His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen; and his bones which were not seen stick out.
rsv@Job:33:22 @ His soul draws near the Pit, and his life to those who bring death.
rsv@Job:33:23 @ If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him;
rsv@Job:33:24 @ and he is gracious to him, and says, `eliver him from going down into the Pit, I have found a ransom;
rsv@Job:33:25 @ let his flesh become fresh with youth; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor';
rsv@Job:33:26 @ then man prays to God, and he accepts him, he comes into his presence with joy. He recounts to men his salvation,
rsv@Job:33:27 @ and he sings before men, and says: `d perverted what was right, and it was not requited to me.
rsv@Job:33:28 @ He has redeemed my soul from going down into the Pit, and my life shall see the light.'
rsv@Job:33:29 @ "Behold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man,
rsv@Job:33:30 @ to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may see the light of life.
