Job 33:21

Verse 21 of 33. The 33rd of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

17that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

18He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

19“He is chastened also with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones,

20so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.

21His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen. His bones that were not seen stick out.

22Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

23“If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,

24then God is gracious to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’

25His flesh will be fresher than a child’s. He returns to the days of his youth.
