MLV(i)
21 His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seen. And his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there is with him a messenger, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him, 24 then God is gracious to him and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom. 25 His flesh will be fresher than a child's. He returns to the days of his youth.
26 He prays to God and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy and he restores to man his righteousness. 27 He sings before men and says, I have sinned and perverted what was right and it did not profit me. 28 He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit and my life will behold the light.
