Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 33:22

_ _ destroyers — angels of death commissioned by God to end man’s life (2 Samuel 24:16; Psalms 78:49). The death pains personified may, however, be meant; so “gnawers” (see on Job 30:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 33:19-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 33:22

The destroyers — The pangs of death, here called the destroyers, are just ready to seize him.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 33:22

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

(l) To them that will bury him.
