23 “If there is an angel as (A)mediator for him,
One out of a thousand,
To declare to a man what is [a]right for him,
24 Then let him be gracious to him, and say,
‘Deliver him from (B)going down to the pit;
I have found (C)atonement’;
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,
Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
26 Then he will (D)entreat God, and He will accept him,
And (E)he will see His face with joyful shouts,
And He may restore His righteousness to man.
27 He will sing to men and say,
‘I (F)have sinned and perverted what is right,
But He has not done (G)what is due to me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from passing into the pit,
And my life shall (H)see the light.’

  1. Job 33:23 Lit his uprightness

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.
