Job 33:14-22
World English Bible
14 For God speaks once,
yes twice, though man pays no attention.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
in slumbering on the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men,
and seals their instruction,
17 that he may withdraw man from his purpose,
and hide pride from man.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit,
and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 “He is chastened also with pain on his bed,
with continual strife in his bones,
20 so that his life abhors bread,
and his soul dainty food.
21 His flesh is so consumed away that it can’t be seen.
His bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit,
and his life to the destroyers.
Job 33:14-22
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 comes over people(B)
as they slumber on their beds,
16 he uncovers their ears(C)
and terrifies them[a] with warnings,
17 in order to turn a person from his actions
and suppress the pride of a person.
18 God spares his soul from the Pit,(D)
his life from crossing the river of death.[b]
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,[c]
and his unseen bones stick out.
22 He draws near to the Pit,
and his life to the executioners.
