28 But God stepped in and saved me from certain death. I'm alive again! Once more I see the light!'
28 God has delivered me from going down to the pit, and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’
29 "This is the way God works. Over and over again
29 “God does all these things to a person— twice, even three times—
30 He pulls our souls back from certain destruction so we'll see the light - and live in the light!
30 to turn them back from the pit, that the light of life may shine on them.
31 "Keep listening, Job. Don't interrupt - I'm not finished yet.
31 “Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
32 But if you think of anything I should know, tell me. There's nothing I'd like better than to see your name cleared.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me; speak up, for I want to vindicate you.
33 Meanwhile, keep listening. Don't distract me with interruptions. I'm going to teach you the basics of wisdom."
33 But if not, then listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
