Context of Job 33:19
17in order to turn a man from his conduct and to cover a person’s pride. 18He spares his soul from the Pit and his life from perishing by the sword. Or a person is chastened with pain on his bed, with continual strife in his bones, 20so that his life loathes bread, and his soul, desirable food. 21His flesh wastes away from sight, and his bones, once unseen, now stick out.

- 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.

- 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.

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
