23. If there be a messenger with him, a mediator, one of a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness:
24. Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25. His flesh shall be younger 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 looks 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.
