Job 33:14-22
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).
19
“Man is also disciplined with pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint in his bones,
20
So that his life makes him loathe food,
And his soul [loathe] even his favorite dishes.
21
“His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
And his bones which were not seen now stick out.
22
“Then his soul draws near to the pit [of destruction],
And his life to those who bring death (the destroyers).
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.
