Job 33:22

The destroyers] or, 'the slain.'

23, 24. An angel messenger, interpreting God's will, comes to the sufferer and shows him what right conduct is. Thereupon God declares that He has found a means of reconciliation (ransom), perhaps the man's repentance, and pardons him. Some regard the angel as a mediator who comes between man and God and pleads his cause. 'Jewish prayers show that the “interpreter” of this verse was always identified in their minds with the expected Redeemer of Israel': thus, 'Raise up for us the righteous Interpreter, say, I have found a ransom' (Cook).
