22. Yea, his nefesh draweth near unto the shachat, and his life to the ones bringing death.
23. If there be a malach (messenger, i.e., Malach HaBrit, HaAdon [see Malachi 3:1] ) as melitz (mediator) for him, one of a thousand, who declares a person yashar (upright, Isa 53:11),
24. Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the shachat (pit); I have found a kofer (ransom) [Mk 10:45].
25. His basar shall be restored like a na'ar; he shall return to the yamim of his youthful vigor;
26. He shall pray unto Eloah, and be accepted by Him, and he shall see His face with teruah (shouts of joy); thus He recompenseth unto enosh his tzedek.
27. He looketh upon anashim, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was yashar, and it was not recompensed to me,
28. He will redeem his nefesh from going into the shachat, and his life shall see the ohr.
