Job 33:28

A Third Way God Warns People

²⁷ He will look at men and say,
“I have sinned and perverted what was right;
yet I did not get what I deserved.
²⁸ He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,
and I will continue to see the light.”
²⁹ God certainly does all these things
two or three times to a man
