Job 33:28-30

33:28 He redeemed my life

from going down to the place of corruption,

and my life sees the light!’

Elihu’s Appeal to Job

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

twice, three times, in his dealings 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.


sn See note on “him” in v. 24.

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

tn The phrase “in his dealings” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarification.
