23 “If there is beside him an angel,
    an interpreter, one among a thousand,
    to show to man what is right for him;
24 then God is gracious to him, and says,
    ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit,
    I have found a ransom.’
25 His flesh will be fresher than a child’s.
    He returns to the days of his youth.
26 He prays to God, and he is favorable to him,
    so that he sees his face with joy.
    He restores to man his righteousness.
27 He sings before men, and says,
    ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
    and it didn’t profit me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit.
    My life will see the light.’

23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,
    a messenger,(A) one out of a thousand,
    sent to tell them how to be upright,(B)
24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God,
    ‘Spare them from going down to the pit;(C)
    I have found a ransom for them(D)
25 let their flesh be renewed(E) like a child’s;
    let them be restored as in the days of their youth’(F)
26 then that person can pray to God and find favor with him,(G)
    they will see God’s face and shout for joy;(H)
    he will restore them to full well-being.(I)
27 And they will go to others and say,
    ‘I have sinned,(J) I have perverted what is right,(K)
    but I did not get what I deserved.(L)
28 God has delivered(M) me from going down to the pit,(N)
    and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’(O)

23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

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

28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
