Job 33:23-28

Amplified Bible

²³ 
“If there is an angel as a mediator for him,
One out of a thousand,
To explain to a man what is right for him [that is, how to be in right standing with God],
²⁴ 
Then ^[a]the angel is gracious to him, and says,
‘Spare him from going down to the pit [of destruction];
I have found a ransom [a consideration, or reason for redemption, an atonement]!’
²⁵ 
“Let his flesh be restored and become fresher than in youth;
Let him return to the days of his youthful strength.
²⁶ 
“He will pray to God, and He shall be favorable to him,
So that he looks at His face with joy;
For God restores to man His righteousness [that is, his right standing with God—with its joys].
²⁷ 
“He sings out to other men,
‘I have sinned and perverted that which was right,
And it was not proper for me!
²⁸ 
‘God has redeemed my life from going to the pit [of destruction],
And my life shall see the light.’”
