Job 33:25

“His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s, etc.] 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…”

“Effects of restoration to God's favor; literally, to Job a temporal revival; spiritually, an eternal regeneration. The striking words cannot be restricted to their temporal meaning, as used by Elihu (Pe1 1:11-12). his flesh shall be fresher than a child's--so Naaman, Kg2 5:14, spiritually, Joh 3:3-7.”

“25 His flesh swelleth with the freshness of youth, He returneth to the days of his youth. 26 If he prayeth to Eloah, He showeth him favour, So that he seeth His face with joy, And thus He recompenseth to man his uprightness. 27 He singeth to men and saith: "I had sinned and perverted what was straight, "And it was not recompensed to me. 28 "He hath delivered my soul from going down into the pit, "And my life rejoiceth in the light." Misled by the change of the perf. and fut. in Job 33:25, Jer. translates Job 33:25 : consumta est caro ejus a suppliciis; Targ.: His flesh had been weakened (אתחלישׁ), or made thin (אתקלישׁ), more than the flesh of a child; Raschi: it had become burst (French…”
