In plain languagePoExplorer guidance

A Divine Orb changes the numerical values produced by an item's random modifiers. It does not give the item a new set of modifier identities. In practical terms, the kinds of properties on the item remain recognizable while their variable numbers are rolled again.

A Path of Exile 2 Divine Orb randomizes the numeric values of modifiers on an item. The item does not receive a replacement set of properties. This makes the orb a numeric reroll: useful modifier identities remain present, but their displayed values may move in either direction.
