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.’

23 If there be for him (A)an angel,
(B)a mediator, (C)one of the thousand,
to declare to man what is (D)right for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
I have found (E)a ransom;
25 let his flesh (F)become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man[a] (G)prays to God, and he accepts him;
he (H)sees his face with a shout of joy,
and he (I)restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men and says:
‘I (J)sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not repaid to me.
28 He has redeemed my (K)soul from going down (L)into the pit,
and my life shall (M)look upon the light.’
