Job 33:16-30

16ThenH227 1He opensH1540 the earsH241 of peopleH376, And horrifiesH2865 them with warningsH4148,17So that He may turnH5493 a personH120 awayH5493 from bad conductH4639, And 2keepH3680 a manH1397 from prideH1466;18He 3keepsH2820 his soulH5315 backH2820 from the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 from perishingH5674 by the 4spearH7973.

19“A person is also rebukedH3198 by 5painH4341 in his bedH4904, And with constantH386 complaintH7379 in his bonesH6106,20So that his lifeH2421 6loathesH2092 breadH3899, And his soulH5315, foodH3978 7that he should craveH8378.21His 8fleshH1320 wastesH3615 awayH3615 from sightH7210, And his 9bonesH6106, which were not seenH7210, stickH8192 outH8192.22Then 10his soulH5315 comesH7126 nearH7126 to the pitH7845, And his lifeH2421 to those who bringH4191 deathH4191.

23“IfH518 thereH3426 isH3426 an 11intercedingH3917 angelH4397 for him, OneH259 out of a thousandH505, To remindH5046 a personH120 of whatH3476 isH3476 12rightH3476 for him,24And he isH2603 graciousH2603 to him, and saysH559, ‘FreeH6308 him from 13goingH3381 downH3381 to the pitH7845, I have foundH4672 a 14ransomH3724’;25Let his fleshH1320 becomeH7375 fresherH7375 thanH4480 in youthH5290, Let him returnH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthfulH5934 vigorH5934;26Then he will 15prayH6279 to GodH433, and He will acceptH7521 him, So that 16he may seeH7200 His faceH6440 with joyH8643, And He will restoreH7725 His righteousnessH6666 to that personH582.27He will singH7891 to peopleH376 and sayH559, ‘I 17have sinnedH2398 and pervertedH5753 whatH3477 isH3477 rightH3477, And it isH7737 not 18properH7737 for me.28He has redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 from goingH5674 to the pitH7845, And my lifeH2421 will 19seeH7200 the lightH216.’

29“BeholdH2005, GodH410 doesH6466 20allH3605 theseH428 things for a manH1397 twoH6471 or threeH7969 timesH6471,30To 21bringH7725 backH7725 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, So that he may be enlightenedH215 with the lightH216 of lifeH2425.
