19 They are also chastened with pain upon their beds
and with continual strife in their bones,(A)
20 so that their lives loathe bread
and their appetites dainty food.(B)
21 Their flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and their bones, once invisible, now stick out.(C)
22 Their souls draw near the Pit
and their lives to those who bring death.(D)
23 Then, if there should be for one of them an angel,
a mediator, one of a thousand,
one who declares a person upright,(E)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the Pit;
I have found a ransom;(F)
25 let his flesh become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor,’(G)
26 then he prays to God and is accepted by him;
he comes into his presence with joy,
and God[a] repays him for his righteousness.(H)
