Job 33:20

Job 33:20

Compare all

18 He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from¹ perishing by the sword.

19 “Man is also chastened with pain on his ^abed,
And with strong pain in many of his bones,

20 ^aSo that his life abhors ^bbread,
And his soul¹ 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.

<< Job 33:19

Job 33:21 >>

His life abhorreth bread - These expressions strongly and naturally point out that general nausea, or loathing which sick persons feel in almost every species of disorder.
