Job 33:15-28
15 In a a dream, in b a vision of c the night,when d deep sleep falls on men,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he e opens the ears of men
and terrifies them with warnings,
17 that he may turn man aside from his f deed
and conceal pride from a man;
18 he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from g perishing by the sword.
19 “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
and with continual strife in his h bones,
20 so that his i life loathes bread,
and his appetite j the choicest food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and his bones that were not seen k stick out.
22 His soul draws near l the pit,
and his life to m those who bring death.
23 If there be for him n an angel,
o a mediator p one of the thousand,
to declare to man what is q right for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
I have found r a ransom;
25 let his flesh s become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man ▼
▼
Hebrew he
u prays to God, and he accepts him;he v sees his face with a shout of joy,
and he w restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men and says:
‘I x sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not repaid to me.
28 He has redeemed my y soul from going down z into the pit,
and my life shall aa look upon the light.’
