Job 33:23-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 Then, if there should be for one of them an angel,
a mediator, one of a thousand,
one who declares a person upright,(A)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the Pit;
I have found a ransom;(B)
25 let his flesh become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor,’(C)
26 then he prays to God and is accepted by him;
he comes into his presence with joy,
and God[a] repays him for his righteousness.(D)
27 That person sings to others and says,
‘I sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not paid back to me.(E)
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
and my life shall see the light.’(F)

Revised Standard Version
23 If there be for him an angel,
a mediator, one of the thousand,
to declare to man what is right for him;
24 and he is gracious to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the Pit,
I have found a ransom;
25 let his flesh become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man prays to God, and he accepts him,
he comes into his presence with joy.
He recounts[a] to men his salvation,
27 and he sings before men, and says:
‘I sinned, and perverted what was right,
and it was not requited to me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down into the Pit,
and my life shall see the light.’
