30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
30 to turn them back from the pit, that the light of life may shine on them.
30 to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be lighted with the light of life.
30 He pulls our souls back from certain destruction so we'll see the light - and live in the light!
30 To bring back his soul from the Pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of life.
30 He rescues them from the grave so they may enjoy the light of life.

Commentary on Job 33:29-33
(Read Job 33:29-33)
Elihu shows that God's great and gracious design toward the children of men, is, to save them from being for ever miserable, and to bring them to be for ever happy. By whatever means we are kept back from the we shall bless the Lord for them at least, and should bless him for them though they be painful and distressing. Those that perish for ever are without excuse, for they would not be healed.
