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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 For God speaks in one way
and in two, though people do not perceive it.(A)
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on mortals,
while they slumber on their beds,(B)
16 then he opens their ears
and terrifies them with warnings,(C)
17 that he may turn them aside from their deeds
and keep them from pride,
18 to spare their souls from the Pit,
their lives from traversing the River.
19 They are also chastened with pain upon their beds
and with continual strife in their bones,(D)
20 so that their lives loathe bread
and their appetites dainty food.(E)
21 Their flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and their bones, once invisible, now stick out.(F)
22 Their souls draw near the Pit
and their lives to those who bring death.(G)
