19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing,

22 They draw near to the pit,(H)
    and their life to the messengers of death.[a](I)

  1. Job 33:22 Or to the place of the dead

19 Man is also chastened with pain on his (A)bed,
And with strong pain in many of his bones,
20 (B)So that his life abhors (C)bread,
And his soul [a]succulent food.
21 His flesh wastes away from sight,
And his bones stick out which once were not seen.
22 Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
And his life to the executioners.
