19 A person may be disciplined on his bed with painand constant distress in his bones,
20 so that he detests bread,and his soul despises his favorite food.
21 His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his unseen bones stick out.
22 He draws near to the Pit,and his life to the executioners.
23 If there is an angel on his side,one mediator out of a thousand,to tell a person what is right for him
24 and to be gracious to him and say,“Spare him from going down to the Pit;I have found a ransom,”
25 then his flesh will be healthier than in his youth,and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.
