Job 33:14-22

New American Standard Bible

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.

¹⁹ “A person is also rebuked by ^(F)pain in his bed,
And with constant complaint in his bones,
²⁰ So that his life ^(G)loathes bread,
And his soul, food ^[b]that he should crave.
²¹ His ^(H)flesh wastes away from sight,
And his ^(I)bones, which were not seen, stick out.
²² Then ^(J)his soul comes near to the pit,
And his life to those who bring death.
