Job 33:22

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

Ver. 22. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave] His soul, that is, his body, as Job 33:18, for Elihu was no mortalist, neither dreamed he of a psychopannychia. All-night sleep of the soul; a state in which (according to some) the soul sleeps between death and the day of judgement. He is in the very confines of death, and no ways likely to recover; he is free among the dead, as the psalmist hath it.

And his life to the destroyers] Lethalibus malis, to deadly evils, saith Tremellius. Mortiferis, i.e. Morbis, to those messengers of death, deadly diseases, saith Vatablus, Gentiles multa de Parcis fabulati sunt. To those that kill; viz. to the angels, by whom God sometimes destroyeth men, as 2 Samuel 24:16,17, saith Piscator. To enemies, say other. Pollinctoribus, to the bier carriers, say the Tigurines, and so Beza paraphraseth; so that he stands not in need of any remedy or help of anything more than of those who should carry his carcass unto the grave.
