Revised Version 1885

Job 33:23-33 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

23. If there be with him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man what is right for him;

24. Then he 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 favourable unto him; so that he seeth his face with joy: and he restoreth unto man his righteousness.

27. He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not:

28. He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light.

29. Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, yea thrice, with a man,

30. To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

31. Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

32. If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

33. If not, hearken thou unto me: hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
