CLV(i)
19 Also he is corrected by pain on his bed, And by perennial contention in his bones,
20 So that bread is repugnant to him, to his life, And to his soul, the food of yearning.
21 His flesh is vanishing away from sight, And his bones are ridges that once could not be seen.
22 His soul draws near to the pit And his life to the place of the dead.
23 If there is a messenger on his behalf, An intermediary, one out of a thousand, To tell the human what is upright for him,
24 And he is gracious to him and says, Do ransom him from descending to the pit; I have found a propitiatory shelter,
25 Then his flesh will become hale with youth And shall be restored to the days of his adolescence.
26 He shall entreat to Eloah, and He shall accept him; He shall see His face with joyful shouting And shall recall to mortals his vindication.
27 He shall sing before mortals and say, I have sinned and depraved what is upright, Yet He did not compensate it fully to me.
28 He ransomed my soul from passing into the pit, And my life is seeing the light.
29 Behold, El is effecting all these things Twice and thrice with a master,
30 To restore his soul from the pit, To enlighten him with the light of the living.
