Job 33:14-22
English Standard Version
14 For God (A)speaks in one way,
(B)and in two, though man (C)does not perceive it.
15 In (D)a dream, in (E)a vision of (F)the night,
when (G)deep sleep falls on men,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he (H)opens the ears of men
and terrifies[a] them with warnings,
17 that he may turn man aside from his (I)deed
and conceal pride from a man;
18 he keeps back his soul from the pit,
his life from (J)perishing by the sword.
19 “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed
and with continual strife in his (K)bones,
20 so that his (L)life loathes bread,
and his appetite (M)the choicest food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and his bones that were not seen (N)stick out.
22 His soul draws near (O)the pit,
and his life to (P)those who bring death.

Revised Standard Version
14 For God speaks in one way,
and in two, though man does not perceive it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls upon men,
while they slumber on their beds,
16 then he opens the ears of men,
and terrifies them with warnings,
17 that he may turn man aside from his deed,
and cut off[a] pride from man;
18 he keeps back his soul from the Pit,
his life from perishing by the sword.
19 “Man is also chastened with pain upon his bed,
and with continual strife in his bones;
20 so that his life loathes bread,
and his appetite dainty food.
21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen;
and his bones which were not seen stick out.
22 His soul draws near the Pit,
and his life to those who bring death.
