Job 33:25

25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;

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 an angel as mediator for him, One out of a thousand, To remind a man what is right for him,

24 Then let him be gracious to him, and say, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom ';

25 Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;

26 Then he will pray to God, and He will accept him, That he may see His face with joy, And He may restore His righteousness to man.

27 "He will sing to men and say, 'I have sinned and perverted what is right, And it is not proper for me.
