Job 33:28-30

33:28 He redeemed my life ¹ 

from going down to the place of corruption,

and my life sees the light!’

Elihu’s Appeal to Job ² 

33:29 “Indeed, God does all these things,

twice, three times, in his dealings ³  with a person,

33:30 to turn back his life from the place of corruption,

that he may be enlightened with the light of life.

[33:28]  ¹ sn See note on “him” in v. 24.

[33:29]  ² sn Elihu will repeat these instructions for Job to listen, over and over in painful repetition. See note on the heading to 32:1.

[33:29]  ³ tn The phrase “in his dealings” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarification.
