Job 33:25-28
The Message
23-25 “But even then an angel could come,
a champion—there are thousands of them!—
to take up your cause,
A messenger who would mercifully intervene,
canceling the death sentence with the words:
‘I’ve come up with the ransom!’
Before you know it, you’re healed,
the very picture of health!
26-28 “Or, you may fall on your knees and pray—to God’s delight!
You’ll see God’s smile and celebrate,
finding yourself set right with God.
You’ll sing God’s praises to everyone you meet,
testifying, ‘I messed up my life—
and let me tell you, it wasn’t worth it.
But God stepped in and saved me from certain death.
I’m alive again! Once more I see the light!’
Job 33:25-27
New International Version
25 let their flesh be renewed(A) like a child’s;
let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(B)—
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(C)
they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(D)
he will restore them to full well-being.(E)
27 And they will go to others and say,
‘I have sinned,(F) I have perverted what is right,(G)
but I did not get what I deserved.(H)
