Job 33:16-23
Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man;He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.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;
