## his soul draws close to the pit ##

The phrase "those who wish to destroy it" may refer to the people who are already in the place where dead people go. It may also refer to the angel of death that comes and causes the person to die. AT: "he is close to dying" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
