Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 33:24

"Then [God] is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom." — Job 33:24 (ASV)

Then he is gracious to him — i.e., God is gracious; He accepts the mediation of the mediating angel. These words of Elihu's must have fallen on Job's ear with a grateful and refreshing sound, confirming to him his longing for the daysman (Job 9:33).

And says — i.e., to the destroying angels of Job 33:22. It is remarkable that it is God who finds the ransom, as it was by God's grace that the interpreting angel was forthcoming. It is not man's righteousness that has saved him, but the ransom that God has found, even though God, who judges actions, may have justly recognized what righteousness there was in man.
