Job 33:14-22
English Standard Version
14 For God (A)speaks in one way,
(B)and in two, though man (C)does not perceive it.
15 In (D)a dream, in (E)a vision of (F)the night,
when (G)deep sleep falls on men,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he (H)opens the ears of men
and terrifies[a] them with warnings,
17 that he may turn man aside from his (I)deed
and conceal pride from a man;
18 he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from (J)perishing by the sword.
19 “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
and with continual strife in his (K)bones,
20 so that his (L)life loathes bread,
and his appetite (M)the choicest food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and his bones that were not seen (N)stick out.
22 His soul draws near (O)the pit,
and his life to (P)those who bring death.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 For God speaks time and again,
but a person may not notice it.
15 In a dream, a vision(A) in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people(B)
as they slumber on their beds,
16 He uncovers their ears(C) at that time
and terrifies them[a] with warnings,
17 in order to turn a person from his actions
and suppress his pride.[b]
18 God spares his soul from the Pit,(D)
his life from crossing the river of death.[c]
19 A person may be disciplined on his bed(E) with pain
and constant distress in his bones,(F)
20 so that he detests bread,
and his soul despises his favorite food.(G)
21 His flesh wastes away to nothing,[d]
and his unseen bones stick out.
22 He draws near to the Pit,
and his life to the executioners.
