Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

Job 33
¹⁷ That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
¹⁸ He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
¹⁹ He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
²⁰ So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
²¹ His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
²² Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
²³ If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
²⁴ Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
²⁵ His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
²⁶ He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
²⁷ He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
