Job 33:19-26

19In pain on their sickbeds, they are disciplined with endless aching in their bones

20so that their whole being hates food and they lose their appetite for a delicious meal.

21Their flesh becomes so thin that it can’t be seen. Their bones, not seen before, will be exposed.

22Their souls approach the pit. Their lives come close to those already dead.

23“If they have a messenger for them, a spokesman, one in a thousand, to tell people what is right for them,

24then he will have pity on them and say, ‘Free them from going into the pit. I have found a ransom.’

25Then their flesh will become softer than a child’s. They will go back to the days of their youth.

26They will pray to God, who will be pleased with them. They will see God’s face and shout for joy as he restores their righteousness.
