Job 33:14-22
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Indeed (A)God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one perceives it.
15 In a (B)dream, a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men,
While they slumber in their beds,
16 Then (C)He opens the ears of men,
And seals in their discipline,
17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And [a]keep man from pride;
18 He (D)holds back his soul from the pit,
And his life from passing over [b]to death (E)by a weapon.
19 “[c]Man is also reproved with (F)pain on his bed,
And with unceasing contention in his bones,
20 So that his life (G)loathes bread,
And his soul favorite food.
21 His (H)flesh wastes away from sight,
And his (I)bones which were not seen stick out.
22 Then (J)his soul draws near to the pit,
And his life to those who bring death.
Job 33:14-22
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.
