‘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. ‡

30 ^aTo bring back his soul from the Pit,
That he may be enlightened with the light of life. ‡

31 “Give ear, Job, listen to me;
Hold your peace, and I will speak.
