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 (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.
