Job 33:18-24

18He protects them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death.

19“Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds, with ceaseless aching in their bones.

20They lose their appetite for even the most delicious food.

21Their flesh wastes away, and their bones stick out.

22They are at death’s door; the angels of death wait for them.

23“But if an angel from heaven appears— a special messenger to intercede for a person and declare that he is upright—

24he will be gracious and say, ‘Rescue him from the grave, for I have found a ransom for his life.’
