Job 33:30
28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit, and I will live to see the light.’
29 Behold, all these things God does to a man, two or even three times,
to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
32 But if you have something to say, answer me; speak up, for I would like to vindicate you.
