21. His flesh is wasted away from sight, and his bones, which are invisible, are bared.
22. And he draws near to the pit and his life to the killers.
23. “If there is a messenger beside him, a mediator, one of a thousand, to declare to a human being his uprightness
24. so that he is gracious to him, and he says, ‘Deliver him from descending into the pit; I have found a ransom.’
25. His flesh is renewed with his youth; he returns to the days of his youthful strength.
26. He prays to God, then he accepts him, and he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he repays to the human being his righteousness.
27. “He will sing to men, and he will say, ‘I have sinned and have perverted what is right, and it was not paid back to me.
28. He redeemed my life from going down into the pit, so I will enjoy the light.’
