They draw near to the pit, and their life to the messengers of death.

His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death.

They are at death’s door; the angels of death wait for them.

He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the executioners.

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

Yes, his soul draws near the Pit, And his life to the executioners.

“Or, God might get their attention through pain, by throwing them on a bed of suffering, So they can’t stand the sight of food, have no appetite for their favorite treats. They lose weight, wasting away to nothing, reduced to a bag of bones. They hang on the cliff-edge of death, knowing the next breath may be their last.

“Then his soul comes near to the pit, And his life to those who bring death.

“Then his soul draws near to the pit [of destruction], And his life to those who bring death (the destroyers).

He draws near to the place of corruption, and his life to the messengers of death.
