Job 33:21–22

²⁰My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

²⁸And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.

⁵My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

¹¹And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

²⁰Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

²²But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

⁸And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

³For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

⁴My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

⁵By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

¹⁵My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁶For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

¹⁷I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

³When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.

⁴For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

¹¹When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.

¹⁶And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the Lord was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.

²⁸He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

¹⁰Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

⁶The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

²³And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

²³For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

¹⁰I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.

²¹A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

¹MY breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

¹³If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

¹⁴I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.

¹⁵And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

¹⁶They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

⁷O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

⁴Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

³O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

³For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.

⁴I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:

⁵Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

¹¹And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
