Commentary on Job 33:22

Theological / Devotional

Grave. Heb. shachath, the word translated “pit” in v. 18. Job repeatedly expresses his feeling that death is near.

Destroyers. Literally, “those who put to death.” Probably a figurative allusion to supernatural beings, commissioned to execute judgment (see 2 Sam. 24:16, 17). Or, the expression may refer to the pains and ailments that seemed to bring life to a close.
