23 “If there is an (A)interceding angel for him,
One out of a thousand,
To remind a person of what is [a]right for him,
24 And he is gracious to him, and says,
‘Free him from (B)going down to the pit,
I have found a (C)ransom’;
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,
Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
26 Then he will (D)pray to God, and He will accept him,
So that (E)he may see His face with joy,
And He will restore His righteousness to that person.
27 He will sing to people and say,
‘I (F)have sinned and perverted what is right,
And it is not (G)proper for me.
28 He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,
And my life will (H)see the light.’

  1. Job 33:23 Lit his uprightness

23 “If there is a messenger for him,
A mediator, one among a thousand,
To show man His uprightness,
24 Then He is gracious to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down to the Pit;
I have found [a]a ransom’;
25 His flesh shall be young like a child’s,
He shall return to the days of his youth.
26 He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him,
He shall see His face with joy,
For He restores to man His righteousness.
27 Then he looks at men and (A)says,
‘I have sinned, and perverted what was right,
And it (B)did not profit me.’
28 He will (C)redeem [b]his soul from going down to the Pit,
And his life shall see the light.
