God Delivers through His Ransom
23 “If there’s a messenger[a] appointed to mediate for Job[b]
—one out of a thousand—
to represent the man’s integrity on his behalf,
24 to show favor to him and to plead,
‘Deliver him from having to go down to the Pit[c]—
I know where his ransom is!’
25 Let his flesh be rejuvenated[d] as he was in his youth!
Let him recover the strength of his youth.
26 Let him pray to God
and he will accept him;
he will appear before him with joyful shouts!”
The Song of the Ransomed
27 “He’ll sing to mankind with these words:
‘I’ve sinned. I have twisted what is right.
Yet he has not repaid me like I deserve.[e]
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit;[f]
my life will see the light.’

Job 33:23-28
New International Version
23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,
a messenger,(A) one out of a thousand,
sent to tell them how to be upright,(B)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
‘Spare them from going down to the pit;(C)
I have found a ransom for them(D)—
25 let their flesh be renewed(E) like a child’s;
let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(F)—
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(G)
they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(H)
he will restore them to full well-being.(I)
27 And they will go to others and say,
‘I have sinned,(J) I have perverted what is right,(K)
but I did not get what I deserved.(L)
28 God has delivered(M) me from going down to the pit,(N)
and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’(O)
