Job 33:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 33:23

21 His flesh wastes away from sight,
And his bones stick out which once were not seen.

22 Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
And his life to the executioners.

23 “If there is a messenger for him,
A mediator, one among a thousand,
To show man His uprightness,

24 Then He is gracious to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down to the Pit;
I have found¹ a ransom’;

25 His flesh shall be young like a child’s,
He shall return to the days of his youth.

26 He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him,
He shall see His face with joy,
For He restores to man His righteousness.

27 Then he looks at men and ^asays,
‘I have sinned, and perverted what was right,
And it ^bdid not profit me.’

28 He will ^aredeem his soul from going down to the Pit,
And his life shall see the light.
