23 “But there may be an angel on his side.
    The angel may be one out of a thousand who will speak for the man.
    He will tell the man what he should do.
24 The angel will beg for mercy and say:
    ‘Save this man from the place of death.
    I have found a way to pay for his life.’
25 Then his body is made new like a child’s body.
    It will be returned to the way it was when he was young.
26 That person will pray to God, and God will listen to him.
    He will see God’s face and will shout with happiness.
    And God will set things right for him again.
27 Then the man will say to other people,
    ‘I sinned and twisted what was right.
    But I did not receive the punishment I should have received.
28 God bought back my life from death.
    And I will continue to enjoy life.’
