Job 33:25

25 His flesh is renewed with [his] youth; he returns to [the] days of his youthful strength.

Job 33:25 Meaning and Commentary

Job 33:25

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's
Being recovered from illness and restored to health, through the gracious dealings of God with him. This is to be understood not simply and absolutely, but comparatively, or with respect to his former condition; that he, who before was reduced to skin and bone, is now become fat and plump; and whose flesh was dry and withered, now moist, succulent, and juicy; and whose skin was wrinkled, now soft and smooth, and sleek; and whose face was pale, now bloomy and ruddy. The Targum is,

``his flesh is weakened more than a child,''

and the Vulgate Latin,

``is consumed,''

referring to his former state:

he shall return to the days of his youth.
His youth renewed, and he seem young again; become hale and robust as in his youthful days; see ( Psalms 103:5 ) .

Job 33:25 In-Context

23 "If there is a messenger beside him, a mediator, one of a thousand, to declare to a human being his uprightness

24 {so that} he is gracious [to] him, and he says, 'Deliver him from descending into [the] pit; I have found a ransom.'

25 His flesh is renewed with [his] youth; he returns to [the] days of his youthful strength.

26 He prays to God, then he accepts him, and he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he repays to the human being his righteousness.

27 "He will sing to men, and he will say, 'I have sinned and have perverted [what is] right, and it was not paid back to me.
