Iyov 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 ) .

Iyov 33:25 In-Context

23 If there be a malach (messenger, i.e., Malach HaBrit, HaAdon [see Malachi 3:1] ) as melitz (mediator) for him, one of a thousand, who declares a person yashar (upright, Isa 53:11),

24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the shachat (pit); I have found a kofer (ransom) [Mk 10:45].

25 His basar shall be restored like a na’ar; he shall return to the yamim of his youthful vigor;

26 He shall pray unto Eloah, and be accepted by Him, and he shall see His face with teruah (shouts of joy); thus He recompenseth unto enosh his tzedek.

27 He looketh upon anashim, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was yashar, and it was not recompensed to me,
