Job 33:18-24

18God spares his soul from the Pit, his life from crossing the river of death.

19A person may be disciplined on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,

20so that he detests bread, and his soul despises his favorite food.

21His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his unseen bones stick out.

22He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the executioners.

23If there is an angel on his side, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what is right for him

24and to be gracious to him and say, “Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found a ransom,”
