New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 33
17 He makes them turn from doing wrong; he keeps them from pride.
18 He protects them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death.
19 “Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds, with ceaseless aching in their bones.
20 They lose their appetite for even the most delicious food.
21 Their flesh wastes away, and their bones stick out.
22 They are at death’s door; the angels of death wait for them.
23 “But if an angel from heaven appears— a special messenger to intercede for a person and declare that he is upright—
24 he will be gracious and say, ‘Rescue him from the grave, for I have found a ransom for his life.’
25 Then his body will become as healthy as a child’s, firm and youthful again.
26 When he prays to God, he will be accepted. And God will receive him with joy and restore him to good standing.
27 He will declare to his friends, ‘I sinned and twisted the truth, but it was not worth it.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
