Job 33:14-22

Amplified Bible

¹⁴ 
“For God speaks once,
And even twice, yet no one notices it [including you, Job].
¹⁵ 
“In a dream, a vision of the night [one may hear God’s voice],
When deep sleep falls on men
While slumbering upon the bed,
¹⁶ 
Then He opens the ears of men
And seals their instruction,
¹⁷ 
That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And keep him from pride;
¹⁸ 
He holds back his soul from the pit [of destruction],
And his life from passing over into Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).

¹⁹ 
“Man is also disciplined with pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint in his bones,
²⁰ 
So that his life makes him loathe food,
And his soul [loathe] even his favorite dishes.
²¹ 
“His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
And his bones which were not seen now stick out.
²² 
“Then his soul draws near to the pit [of destruction],
And his life to those who bring death (the destroyers).
