22. His soul shall draw near to the grave, and his life to those that would bury him.
23. If there is a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness;
24. to tell him that God had mercy on him, that he delivered him from going down to the pit; that he found a ransom;
25. his flesh shall become more tender than a child’s; and he shall return to the days of his youth.
26. He shall pray unto God, and he will love him; and he shall see his face with shouts of joy; for he will render unto the man the recompense of his righteousness.
27. He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me;
28. God will ransom his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
