17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.KJRV — Job 33:17

18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.KJRV — Job 33:18

23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:KJRV — Job 33:23

24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.KJRV — Job 33:24

25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:KJRV — Job 33:25
