American Standard Version
"Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers. "
— Job 33:22, American Standard Version
“Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.”
“Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.”
“He draws near to the place of corruption, and his life to the messengers of death.”
“His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers.”
“And his soul comes near to the underworld, and his life to the angels of death.”
“Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.”
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;
So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food.
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out.
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.
If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him;
ThenGodis gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.
His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; He returneth to the days of his youth.
