  • Job 33:19-28 : 19 Or a person is chastened by pain on his bed, and with the continual strife of his bones, 20 so that his life loathes food, and his soul rejects appetizing fare. 21 His flesh wastes away from sight, and his bones, which were not seen, are easily visible. 22 He draws near to the place of corruption, and his life to the messengers of death. 23 If there is an angel beside him, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what constitutes his uprightness; 24 and if God is gracious to him and says,‘Spare him from going down to the place of corruption, I have found a ransom for him,’ 25 then his flesh is restored like a youth’s; he returns to the days of his youthful vigor. 26 He entreats God, and God delights in him, he sees God’s face with rejoicing, and God restores to him his righteousness. 27 That person sings to others, saying:‘I have sinned and falsified what is right, but I was not punished according to what I deserved. 28 He redeemed my life from going down to the place of corruption, and my life sees the light!’
