Job 33:23

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

Job 33:23 · BSB

Job 33:23 in context

The verses around it, from Job 33.

19 A man is also chastened on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,

20 so that he detests his bread, and his soul loathes his favorite food.

21 His flesh wastes away from sight, and his hidden bones protrude.

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.

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.
