A mediator and mercy

23If there is for him an angel, a mediator, one among a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,

24then he is gracious to him and says, “Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom.”

25His flesh becomes fresher than a child’s; he returns to the days of his youth.

26He prays to God, and God accepts him; he sees God’s face with a shout of joy, and God restores his righteousness to him.

27He sings before men and says, ‘I have sinned and twisted what was right, and it was not repaid to me.’

28He has redeemed my soul from passing into the pit, and my life will see the light.
