Read in context

Job 33:26–30 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

27 Then he sings before men with these words: ‘I have sinned and perverted what was right; yet I did not get what I deserved.

28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will live to see the light.’

29 Behold, all these things God does to a man, two or even three times,

30 to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
