Job 33:22

Read in context

Job 33:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 so that he detests his bread, and his soul loathes his favorite food.

21 His flesh wastes away from sight, and his hidden bones protrude.

22 He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the messengers of death.

23 Yet if there is a messenger on his side, one mediator in a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,

24 to be gracious to him and say, ‘Spare him from going down to the Pit; I have found his ransom,’
