Job 33:22 in context

Job 33:19–25

19

“He is chastened also with pain on his bed,

with continual strife in his bones,

20

so that his life abhors bread,

and his soul dainty food.

21

His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen.

His bones that were not seen stick out.

22
Selected verse

Yes, his soul draws near to the pit,

and his life to the destroyers.

23

“If there is beside him an angel,

an interpreter, one among a thousand,

to show to man what is right for him,

24

then God is gracious to him, and says,

‘Deliver him from going down to the pit,

I have found a ransom.’

25

His flesh will be fresher than a child’s.

He returns to the days of his youth.
