"And his soul comes near to the underworld, and his life to the angels of death."
— Job 33:22, Bible in Basic English
Pain is sent on him as a punishment, while he is on his bed; there is no end to the trouble in his bones;

And his soul comes near to the underworld, and his life to the angels of death.
If now there may be an angel sent to him, one of the thousands which there are to be between him and God, and to make clear to man what is right for him;
And if he has mercy on him, and says, Let him not go down to the underworld, I have given the price for his life:
Then his flesh becomes young again, and he comes back to the days of his early strength;
