23 Yet if there is an angel at their side,

a messenger, one out of a thousand,

sent to tell them how to be upright,

23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter,

One among a thousand,

To shew unto man his uprightness:

23 “But if an angel from heaven appears—

a special messenger to intercede for a person

and declare that he is upright—

23 “If there is a messenger for him,

A mediator, one among a thousand,

To show man His uprightness,

23 “But there may be an angel to speak for him,

one out of a thousand, who will tell him what to do.

23 If there be with him an angel,

An interpreter, one among a thousand,

To show unto man what is right for him;

23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his duty;

23 “If they have a messenger for them, 

a spokesman, one in a thousand, 

to tell people what is right for them, 

23 If there is an angel on his side,

one mediator out of a thousand,

to tell a person what is right for him

23 Then, if there should be for one of them an angel,

a mediator, one of a thousand,

one who declares a person upright,

23 “If there is a messenger beside him, a mediator, one of a thousand,

to declare to a human being his uprightness

23 “But suppose there is an angel who will speak up for him.

The angel is very special. He’s one out of a thousand.

He will tell that person what is right for him.

23 “If there is an angel as mediator for him,

One out of a thousand,

To remind a man what is right for him,
