¹³ Amid disquieting ^(A)thoughts from visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on people,
¹⁴ Dread came upon me, and trembling,
And made ^[a]all my bones shake.
¹⁵ Then a ^[b]spirit passed by my face;
The hair of my flesh stood up.
¹⁶ Something was standing still, but I could not recognize its appearance;
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence, then I heard a voice:

¹⁴ Indeed ^(A)God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one notices it.
¹⁵ In a ^(B)dream, a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls on people,
While they slumber in their beds,
¹⁶ Then ^(C)He opens the ears of people,
And horrifies them with warnings,
¹⁷ So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct,
And ^[a]keep a man from pride;
¹⁸ He ^(D)keeps his soul back from the pit,
And his life from perishing by the ^(E)spear.
