Job 33:23-30

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ But maybe one of God’s thousands of angels is watching over them,
    to speak for them and tell about the good things they have done.
²⁴ Maybe the angel will be kind and say to God,
    ‘Save this one from the place of death!
    I have found a way to pay for his life.’
²⁵ Then that person’s body will become young and strong again.
    He will be as he was when he was young.
²⁶ He will pray and God will answer.
    He will worship God and shout with joy.
    He will again stand as right before God.
²⁷ He will tell everyone, ‘I sinned.
    I changed good into bad,
    but God didn’t give me the punishment I deserved!
²⁸ God saved me from going down to the place of death.
    Now I can enjoy life again.’
