job 33:27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

job 33:27 "He will sing to men and say, 'I have sinned and perverted what is right, And it is not proper for me.

27. he looketh--God. Rather, with UMBREIT, "Now he (the restored penitent) singeth joyfully (answering to "joy," Job 33:26; Ps 51:12) before men, and saith," &c. (Pr 25:20; Ps 66:16; 116:14).
perverted--made the straight crooked: as Job had misrepresented God's character.
profited--literally, "was made even" to me; rather, "My punishment was not commensurate with my sin" (so Zophar, Job 11:6); the reverse of what Job heretofore said (Job 16:17; Ps 103:10; Ezr 9:13).

job 33:27 "He will sing to men and say, 'I have sinned and perverted what is right, And it is not proper for me.
