Holman Christian Standard Bible

Job 33:24-33 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

24. and to be gracious to him and say,“Spare him from going down to the Pit;I have found a ransom,”

25. then his flesh will be healthier than in his youth,and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.

26. He will pray to God, and God will delight in him.That man will see His face with a shout of joy,and God will restore his righteousness to him.

27. He will look at men and say,“I have sinned and perverted what was right;yet I did not get what I deserved.

28. He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,and I will continue to see the light.”

29. God certainly does all these thingstwo or three times to a man

30. in order to turn him back from the Pit,so he may shine with the light of life.

31. Pay attention, Job, and listen to me.Be quiet, and I will speak.

32. But if you have something to say, answer me;speak, for I would like to justify you.

33. If not, then listen to me;be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.
