American King James Version
"He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. "
— Job 33:18, American King James Version
“He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.”
“He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword. ”
“He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.”
“He spares a person’s life from corruption, his very life from crossing over the river.”
“Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword.”
“To keep back his soul from the underworld, and his life from destruction.”
“He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.”
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumberings on the bed;
Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
He is chastened also with pain on his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
So that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty meat.
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
