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.

14 “Indeed (A)God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one notices it.
15 “In a (B)dream, a vision of the night,
When sound sleep falls on men,
While they slumber in their beds,
16 Then (C)He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction,
17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And [a]keep man from pride;
18 He (D)keeps back his soul from the pit,
And his life from [b]passing over (E)into Sheol.

19 [c]Man is also chastened with (F)pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint 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.
