The Book of Job, Chapter 33, Verse 28

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong [pain]:

So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones [that] were not seen stick out.

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

He looketh upon men, and [if any] say, I have sinned, and perverted [that which was] right, and it profited me not;

King James Version

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

American Standard Version

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

New English Translation

He redeemed my life from going down to the place of corruption, and my life sees the light!’

World English Bible

He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit. My life shall see the light.'

Lo, all these [things] worketh God oftentimes with man,

To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

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

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

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

Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

Hear my words, O ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what [is] good.

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
