Job 33:14-18
Amplified Bible
14
“For God speaks once,
And even twice, yet no one notices it [including you, Job].
15
“In a dream, a vision of the night [one may hear God’s voice],
When deep sleep falls on men
While slumbering upon the bed,
16
Then He opens the ears of men
And seals their instruction,
17
That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And keep him from pride;
18
He holds back his soul from the pit [of destruction],
And his life from passing over into Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).
Job 33:14-18
New International Version
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)
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,(K)
18 to preserve them from the pit,(L)
their lives from perishing by the sword.[a](M)
