23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
23 If there is an angel(T) on his side,one mediator out of a thousand,to tell a person what is right for him(h)
23 "If there's a messenger appointed to mediate for Job one out of a thousand to represent the man's integrity on his behalf,
24 Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption!
24 Then let him be gracious to him, and say,‘Deliver him from (Z)going down to the pit,I have found a (AA)ransom’;
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
24 and to be gracious to him and say,“Spare him from going down to the Pit;I have found a ransom,”(U)
24 to show favor to him and to plead, "Deliver him from having to go down to the Pit I know where his ransom is!'
25 His flesh hath been made fresher than a child's, he hath returned to the days of his youth;
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
25 then his flesh will be healthier(i) than in his youth,and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.(V)
25 Let his flesh be rejuvenated as he was in his youth! Let him recover the strength of his youth.
26 He made supplication unto GOD, who hath accepted him, and he hath beheld his face with a shout of triumph, Thus hath he given back to man his righteousness.
26 Then he will (AB)pray to God, and He will accept him,That (AC)he may see His face with joy,And He may restore His righteousness to man.
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
26 He will pray to God, and God will delight in him.That man will see His face(W) with a shout of joy,and God will restore his righteousness to him.(X)
26 Let him pray to God and he will accept him; he will appear before him with joyful shouts!"
27 He sang before men, and said, I sinned, and, uprightness, I perverted, yet he requited me not;
27 “He will sing to men and say,‘I (AD)have sinned and perverted what is right,And it is not (AE)proper for me.
27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
27 He will look at men and say,“I have sinned and perverted what was right;yet I did not get what I deserved.(j)
27 "He'll sing to mankind with these words: "I've sinned. I have twisted what is right. Yet he has not repaid me like I deserve.
28 He hath ransomed my soul from passing away into the pit, - and, my life, in the light, shall have vision.

28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,and I will continue to see the light.”
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit; my life will see the light.'
31 Mark well, O Job, and hearken to me, Be silent, and, I, will speak:
31 “Pay attention, O Job, listen to me;Keep silent, and let me speak.
31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me.Be quiet, and I will speak.
31 "Job, pay attention! Listen to me! Be silent and let me speak.
33 If not, do, thou, hearken unto me, Be silent, that I may teach thee wisdom.
33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
33 If not, then listen to me;be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.
33 But if you have nothing to say, then at least listen to me! Be quiet and learn some wisdom from me."
