Rh :If there be a messenger with him,
 * An interpreter, one among a thousand,
 * To shew unto man his uprightness:
 * Then he is gracious unto him, and saith,
 * Deliver him from going down to the pit:
 * I have found a ransom.
 * His flesh shall be fresher than a child's:
 * He shall return to the days of his youth:
 * He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him:
 * And he shall see his face with joy:
 * For he will render unto man his righteousness.
 * He looketh upon men, and if any say,
 * I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
 * And it profited me not;
 * He will deliver his soul from going into the pit,
 * And his life shall see the light.
 * Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
 * To bring back his soul from the pit,
 * To be enlightened with the light of the living.
 * Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me:
 * Hold thy peace, and I will speak.
 * If thou hast any thing to say, answer me:
 * Speak, for I desire to justify thee.
 * If not, hearken unto me:
 * Hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
