Verse 28 is found in chapter 33 of Job. Elihu presents the possibility of a messenger or mediator who explains to a person what he should do and announces deliverance. The language combines judgment, rescue, and restoration. The idea echoes Job’s desire for a mediator, although Elihu now presents such a figure as an instrument through whom God can teach and restore.

Él ha rescatado mi alma para que no baje a la fosa y mi vida verá la luz”.
Dieu a délivré mon âme pour qu'elle n'entrât pas dans la fosse, Et ma vie s'épanouit à la lumière!
Così Iddio riscoterà l’anima sua, che non passi nella fossa, E la vita sua vedrà la luce
Porém Deus livrou a minha alma de ir para a cova, e a minha vida verá a luz.
上帝救贖我的性命免入地府, 我的生命也必見光。』
