Job 33:19

This is. vivid description of the pain and suffering that Job was experiencing, and Elihu says that God also speaks to men through such suffering. God can use pain to get. person's attention and bring them closer to Him (Romans 5:3-5; Psalms 119:71; Hebrews 12:5ff). C.S. Lewis called pain, "God's megaphone". Here is physical pain, felt inwardly to one's very bones, that causes one to lose their appetite, even for favorite dishes, and which results in losing weight so that his bones protrude.
