21. His flesh is wasted, it cannot be seen;bones, once invisible, appear;
22. His soul draws near to the pit,his life to the place of the dead.
23. If then there be a divine messenger,a mediator, one out of a thousand,to show him what is right,
24. He will take pity on him and say,“Deliver him from going down to the pit;I have found him a ransom.”
25. Then his flesh shall become soft as a boy’s;he shall be again as in the days of his youth.
