Context of Job 33:25
23But perhaps an angel may come to help one of those people. He may speak on behalf of God, as a special angel among the many thousands of God's angels. The angel may tell that person how to live in a way that is right. 24Then God will be kind to that person. God will say, “Save that person, so that he does not go to his grave. I have found someone to pay the price for his life. So keep him alive.” Then that person's body will become healthy again. He will be strong, like a young man. 26When he prays to God, God will be happy to answer him. He will again worship God with joy. And God will give him a good way of life again. 27That person will say clearly to everyone, “I did things that were not right. I did wrong things, but God did not punish me as I deserved.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 25His flesh shall be fresher than a child‘s - Margin, “childhood.” The meaning is obvious. He would be restored again to health.

If he would now, understanding the nature and design of affliction, turn to God, he would be recovered again, and enjoy the…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-28Verses 19-28 Job complained of his diseases, and judged by them that God was angry with him; his friends did so too: but Elihu shows that God often afflicts the body for good to the soul.
