Job 33:26
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.
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.’
