Job 33:14-22
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Indeed (A)God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one perceives it.
15 In a (B)dream, a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men,
While they slumber in their beds,
16 Then (C)He opens the ears of men,
And seals in their discipline,
17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And [a]keep man from pride;
18 He (D)holds back his soul from the pit,
And his life from passing over [b]to death (E)by a weapon.
19 “[c]Man is also reproved with (F)pain on his bed,
And with unceasing contention in his bones,
20 So that his life (G)loathes bread,
And his soul favorite food.
21 His (H)flesh wastes away from sight,
And his (I)bones which were not seen stick out.
22 Then (J)his soul draws near to the pit,
And his life to those who bring death.
Job 33:14-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
Job 33:14-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 God does speak, sometimes one way, sometimes another,
but people do not pay attention to it.
15 In a dream, in a vision in the night,
when people are falling into a deep sleep,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 he whispers a revelation into people’s ears,
and he confirms his warnings to them,
17 in order to turn a man from his course of action
and to suppress a person’s pride.
18 He spares his life from the pit.
He spares his life from crossing the stream of death.[a]
19 Or a person may be disciplined on his bed by pain
and by continual agony in his bones,
20 so that his life makes food disgusting to him,
and he has no appetite for delicious food.
21 His flesh wastes away and disappears,
and his bones, which were hidden, now stick out.
22 Then his soul draws near to destruction,
and his life to those who bring death.

14 For God does speak(A)—now one way, now another(B)—
though no one perceives it.(C)
15 In a dream,(D) in a vision(E) of the night,(F)
when deep sleep(G) falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak(H) in their ears
and terrify them(I) with warnings,(J)

and their bones,(S) once hidden, now stick out.(T)
22 They draw near to the pit,(U)
