Job 33:23-28
New American Standard Bible
23 “If there is an (A)interceding angel for him,
One out of a thousand,
To remind a person of what is [a]right for him,
24 And he is gracious to him, and says,
‘Free him from (B)going down to the pit,
I have found a (C)ransom’;
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,
Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
26 Then he will (D)pray to God, and He will accept him,
So that (E)he may see His face with joy,
And He will restore His righteousness to that person.
27 He will sing to people and say,
‘I (F)have sinned and perverted what is right,
And it is not (G)proper for me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,
And my life will (H)see the light.’

Job 33:23-28
American Standard Version
23 If there be with him [a]an angel,
An interpreter, one [b]among a thousand,
To show unto man [c]what is right for him;
24 [d]Then God is gracious unto him, and saith,
Deliver him from going down to the pit,
I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s;
He returneth to the days of his youth.
26 He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him,
So that he seeth his face with joy:
And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.
27 He [e]singeth before men, and saith,
I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
And [f]it profited me not:
28 He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit,
And my life shall behold the light.
