Job 33:24

Read in context

Job 33:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the messengers of death.

23 Yet if there is a messenger on his side, one mediator in a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,

24 to be gracious to him and say, ‘Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found his ransom,’

25 then his flesh is refreshed like a child’s; he returns to the days of his youth.

26 He prays to God and finds favor; he sees God’s face and shouts for joy, and God restores His righteousness to that man.
