Job 33:18-24

18He spares a person’s life from corruption, his very life from crossing over the river.

19Or a person is chastened by pain on his bed, and with the continual strife of his bones,

20so that his life loathes food, and his soul rejects appetizing fare.

21His flesh wastes away from sight, and his bones, which were not seen, are easily visible.

22He draws near to the place of corruption, and his life to the messengers of death.

23If there is an angel beside him, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what constitutes his uprightness;

24and if God is gracious to him and says, ‘Spare him from going down to the place of corruption, I have found a ransom for him,’
