Job 33:22-24

International Standard Version

²² His soul is getting close to the Pit;^[a]
    his life is approaching its executioner.”

²³ “If there’s a messenger^[b] appointed to mediate for Job^[c]
    —one out of a thousand—
        to represent the man’s integrity on his behalf,
²⁴ to show favor to him and to plead,
    ‘Deliver him from having to go down to the Pit^[d]—
        I know where his ransom is!’
