23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand to show 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 favorable 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.

23 If there be with him [a]an angel,
An interpreter, one [b]among a thousand,
To show unto man [c]what is right for him;
24 [d]Then God 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 returneth to the days of his youth.
26 He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him,
So that he seeth his face with joy:
And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.
27 He [e]singeth before men, and saith,
I have sinned, and perverted that which was right,
And [f]it profited me not:
28 He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit,
And my life shall behold the light.
