Job 33:23-30 - A Third Way God Warns People

23 If now there may be an angel sent to him, one of the thousands which there are to be between him and God, and to make clear to man what is right for him; 24 And if he has mercy on him, and says, Let him not go down to the underworld, I have given the price for his life: 25 Then his flesh becomes young again, and he comes back to the days of his early strength; 26 He makes his prayer to God, and he has mercy on him; he sees God's face with cries of joy; he gives news of his righteousness to men; 27 He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin. 28 He kept my soul from the underworld, and my life sees the light in full measure. 29 Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times, 30 Keeping back his soul from the underworld, so that he may see the light of life.
