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.’

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
