²³     If there is a heavenly messenger at one’s side, a mediator,
        even just one out of the thousand in his regime of God’s messengers,
        to proclaim what is right for that person according to God,
²⁴     And to be gracious to him and to say,
        “Spare this one from descending into the pit;
        I have found a ransom that will save his life!
²⁵     Then his skin will be renewed, as smooth and fresh as a child’s,
        and he will be restored to the vim and vigor of his youth.”
