23“If there is an angel beside him, a messenger, one out of a thousand, to declare to a man his uprightness, 24then He is gracious to him, and says ‘Deliver him from going down to the Pit— I have found a ransom;’ let his flesh be restored like a child’s; let him return to the days of his youth.’ 26He entreats God and is accepted by Him; he sees His face with a shout of joy; He restores to the man his righteousness. 27He sings to others, saying, ‘I have sinned and perverted what is right, but I did not get what I deserved.
