Job 33:22

Death and loss

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.

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,’

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
