Job 33:14-18
New King James Version
14 (A)For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.
15 (B)In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
16 (C)Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
17 In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
18 He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from [a]perishing by the sword.
