27 They sing before people and say:"I have sinned, perverted justice,but didn’t experience the consequences.
28 He ransomed me from crossing into the pit;my life beholds light."

30 to bring them back from the pit,to shine with life’s light.
31 Listen, Job; hear me;be quiet, and I will speak.
32 If you have words, answer me;speak, for I want to be innocent.
