Job 33:19-30

19“Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds, with ceaseless aching in their bones.

20They lose their appetite for even the most delicious food.

21Their flesh wastes away, and their bones stick out.

22They are at death’s door; the angels of death wait for them.

23“But if an angel from heaven appears— a special messenger to intercede for a person and declare that he is upright—

24he will be gracious and say, ‘Rescue him from the grave, for I have found a ransom for his life.’

25Then his body will become as healthy as a child’s, firm and youthful again.

26When he prays to God, he will be accepted. And God will receive him with joy and restore him to good standing.

27He will declare to his friends, ‘I sinned and twisted the truth, but it was not worth it.

28God rescued me from the grave, and now my life is filled with light.’

29“Yes, God does these things again and again for people.

30He rescues them from the grave so they may enjoy the light of life.
