23 If there is an angel(T) on his side,one mediator out of a thousand,to tell a person what is right for him(h)
23 "If there's a messenger appointed to mediate for Job one out of a thousand to represent the man's integrity on his behalf,
24 Then He doth favour him and saith, 'Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.'

24 to show favor to him and to plead, "Deliver him from having to go down to the Pit I know where his ransom is!'
25 Fresher is his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth.
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
25 then his flesh will be healthier(i) than in his youth,and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.(V)

27 “He will sing to men and say,‘I (AD)have sinned and perverted what is right,And it is not (AE)proper for me.

28 He redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit,and I will continue to see the light.”
28 He has redeemed my soul from going down to the Pit; my life will see the light.'
