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.

  1. Job 33:16 Or seals

14 Indeed, God speaks in one way,
even[a] in two,[b] yet someone does not perceive it.
15 “In a dream, a vision of the night,
when a deep sleep falls on men slumbering on their bed,
16 then he opens the ear of men,
and he frightens them with a warning[c]
17 to turn human beings aside from their deeds,
and he keeps man from pride.
18 He spares his life from the pit
and his life from passing over the river of death.
19 “And he is reproved with pain on his bed,
even[d] with the strife of his bones continually,
20 so that[e] his life loathes bread,
and his inner self[f] loathes appetizing food.[g]
21 His flesh is wasted away from sight,
and his bones, which are invisible, are bared.
22 And he[h] draws near to the pit
and his life to the killers.
