Context of Job 33:25
23If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him; 24ThenGodis 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 returneth to the days of his youth. 26He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness. 27He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:
