19 “Man is also reproved with apain on his bed,
And with unceasing contention in his bones,
20 So that his life aloathes bread,
And his soul favorite food.
21 His aflesh wastes away from sight,
And his bbones which were not seen stick out.
22 Then ahis soul draws near to the pit,
And his life to those who bring death.
23 “If there is an angel as amediator for him,
One out of a thousand,
To declare to a man what is right for him,
24 Then let him be gracious to him, and say,
‘Deliver him from agoing down to the pit;
I have found batonement’;
25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,
Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
26 Then he will aentreat God, and He will accept him,
And bhe will see His face with joyful shouts,
And He may restore His righteousness to man.
