He is chastened also with pain upon his bed

Job 33:19–28, “He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s: he shall return to the days of his youth: He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.”

Elihu continued to talk about people who sinned against the Lord and were punished. He said they suffered pain when they lay on their beds and strong pain drove them to their beds. A person being punished by the Lord longs for death and wants someone to let him know that he is good. The Lord looks for someone to pay the price of sin on that person’s behalf then they will be saved from death and the grave. All people need to do is admit their sin and confess that sin wasn't good in their lives.
