Job 33:23 Context
21His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seene; and his bones that were not seene, sticke out. 22His soule draweth neere vnto the graue, and his life to the destroyers. 23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew vnto man his vprightnesse: 24Then hee is gracious vnto him, and sayth, Deliuer him from going downe to the pit; I haue found a ransome. 25His flesh shall be fresher then a childes: he shall returne to the dayes of his youth.
