Job 36:6
English Standard Version Anglicised
6 He does not keep the wicked alive,
but gives (A)the afflicted their right.
Job 33:15-28
English Standard Version Anglicised
15 In (A)a dream, in (B)a vision of (C)the night,
when (D)deep sleep falls on men,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he (E)opens the ears of men
and terrifies them with warnings,
17 that he may turn man aside from his (F)deed
and conceal pride from a man;
18 he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from (G)perishing by the sword.
19 “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
and with continual strife in his (H)bones,
20 so that his (I)life loathes bread,
and his appetite (J)the choicest food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and his bones that were not seen (K)stick out.
22 His soul draws near (L)the pit,
and his life to (M)those who bring death.
23 If there be for him (N)an angel,
(O)a mediator, (P)one of the thousand,
to declare to man what is (Q)right for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
I have found (R)a ransom;
25 let his flesh (S)become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigour’;
26 then man[a] (T)prays to God, and he accepts him;
he (U)sees his face with a shout of joy,
and he (V)restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men and says:
‘I (W)sinned and perverted what was right,
and it was not repaid to me.
28 He has redeemed my (X)soul from going down (Y)into the pit,
and my life shall (Z)look upon the light.’
