Job 33:23-28
1599 Geneva Bible
23 If there be a [a]messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand [b]to declare unto man his righteousness,
24 Then will he have [c]mercy upon him, and will say, [d]Deliver him, that he go not down into the pit: for I have received a reconciliation.
25 Then shall his flesh be [e]as fresh as a child’s, and shall return as in the days of his youth.
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him, and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his [f]righteousness.
27 He looketh upon men, and if one say, I have sinned, and [g]perverted righteousness, and it did not profit [h]me,
28 [i]He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
