Job 33:14-22
World English Bible
Job 33:14-22
World English Bible
14 For God speaks once,
yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
in slumbering on the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men,
and seals their instruction,
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose,
and hide pride from man.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit,
and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed,
with continual strife in his bones,
20 so that his life abhors bread,
and his soul dainty food.
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen.
His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit,
and his life to the destroyers.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 For God speaks in one way
and in two, though people do not perceive it.(A)
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on mortals,
while they slumber on their beds,(B)
16 then he opens their ears
and terrifies them with warnings,(C)
17 that he may turn them aside from their deeds
and keep them from pride,
18 to spare their souls from the Pit,
their lives from traversing the River.
19 They are also chastened with pain upon their beds
and with continual strife in their bones,(D)
20 so that their lives loathe bread
and their appetites dainty food.(E)
21 Their flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and their bones, once invisible, now stick out.(F)
22 Their souls draw near the Pit
and their lives to those who bring death.(G)

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 their soul loathes the choicest meal.(R)
21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing,
and their bones,(S) once hidden, now stick out.(T)
22 They draw near to the pit,(U)
and their life to the messengers of death.[b](V)
