22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
22 But his flesh H1320 upon him shall have pain, H3510 and his soul H5315 within him shall mourn. H56
22 But his flesh upon him hath pain, And his soul within him mourneth.
22 Only -- his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
22 But his flesh hath pain for himself alone, and his soul mourneth for himself.
22 But his flesh on him has pain; His soul within him mourns."
22 Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.
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.
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Job had already shown that death will come, and that its hour is already fixed. Now here he shows,
