Iyov 33:22-24

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²² Yea, his nefesh draweth near unto the shachat, and his life to the ones bringing death.

²³ If there be a malach (messenger, i.e., Malach HaBrit, HaAdon [see Malachi 3:1] ) as melitz (mediator) for him, one of a thousand, who declares a person yashar (upright, Isa 53:11),

²⁴ Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the shachat (pit); I have found a kofer (ransom) [Mk 10:45].
