Job 33:22-24

The Voice

²² Thus he is sobered as his soul approaches the rim of the pit,
as his life hears the whispers of the coming messengers of death.

²³    If there is a heavenly messenger at one’s side, a mediator,
        even just one out of the thousand in his regime of God’s messengers,
        to proclaim what is right for that person according to God,
²⁴    And to be gracious to him and to say,
        “Spare this one from descending into the pit;
        I have found a ransom that will save his life!
