Context of Job 33:19
17That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep him from pride; 18He holds back his soul from the pit [of destruction], And his life from passing over into Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead). “Man is also disciplined with pain on his bed, And with unceasing complaint in his bones, 20So that his life makes him loathe food, And his soul [loathe] even his favorite dishes. 21His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen, And his bones which were not seen now stick out.

Commentaries on Job 33:19
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19IV. By Afflictions He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, etc. - Afflictions are a fourth means which God makes use of to awaken and convert sinners. In the hand of God these were the cause of the salvation of David, as himself testifies: Before I was afflicted, I went astray, Psalm 119:67, Psalm 119:71, Psalm 119:75. The multitude of his bones - By such diseases, especially those of a rheumatic kind, when to the patient's apprehension every bone is…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19He is chastened also with pain - As another means of checking and restraining him from the commission of sin. When the warnings of the night fail, and when he is bent on a life of sin, then God lays him on a bed of pain, and he is brought to reflection there.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-28Verses 19-28 Job complained of his diseases, and judged by them that God was angry with him; his friends did so too: but Elihu shows that God often afflicts the body for good to the soul.

Pain is the fruit of sin; yet, by the grace of God, the pain of the body is often made a means of good to the soul. When afflictions have done their work, they shall…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1919. When man does not heed warnings of the night, he is chastened, &c. The new thought suggested by Elihu is that affliction is disciplinary (Job 36:10); for the good of the godly. multitude--so the Margin, Hebrew (Keri). Better with the text (Chetib), "And with the perpetual (strong) contest of his bones"; the never-resting fever in his bones (Psa 38:3) [Umbreit].Read the comment
