¹⁴ God speaketh once, and the second time he rehearseth not the same thing. (For God speaketh once, and he repeateth not the same thing a second time.)

¹⁵ God speaketh by a dream in the vision of (the) night, when sleep falleth on men, and when they sleep in their bed. (God speaketh in a dream in the vision of the night, when sleep falleth on men, and they sleep in their beds.)

¹⁶ Then he openeth the ears of men, and he teacheth them, and teacheth prudence, or discipline;

¹⁷ (so) that he turn away a man from these things which he made, and deliver him from pride;

¹⁸ and that he deliver his soul from corruption, and his life, that it go not into sword. (and so that he deliver his soul from corruption, and that he die not by the sword.)

¹⁹ Also God blameth a man by sorrow in his bed, and he maketh all the bones of him for to wax rotten. (And God correcteth a person by sending sickness to him in his bed, and he maketh all his bones to grow rotten.)

²⁰ Bread is made abominable to him in his life, and the meat, that before was to him desirable, loathed to his soul after. (And so for him, bread is made abominable, and the food, which he desired before, is now loathed by his soul.)

²¹ His flesh shall fail for rot, and his bones, that were covered, shall be made naked.

²² His soul shall nigh to corruption, and his life to things bringing death.
