Job 33:14-22
Lexham English Bible
14 Indeed, God speaks in one way,
even[a] in two,[b] yet someone does not perceive it.
15 “In a dream, a vision of the night,
when a deep sleep falls on men slumbering on their bed,
16 then he opens the ear of men,
and he frightens them with a warning[c]
17 to turn human beings aside from their deeds,
and he keeps man from pride.
18 He spares his life from the pit
and his life from passing over the river of death.
19 “And he is reproved with pain on his bed,
even[d] with the strife of his bones continually,
20 so that[e] his life loathes bread,
and his inner self[f] loathes appetizing food.[g]
21 His flesh is wasted away from sight,
and his bones, which are invisible, are bared.
22 And he[h] draws near to the pit
and his life to the killers.
Job 33:14-22
International Standard Version
14 “God speaks time and time again[a]—
but nobody notices—
15 in a dream or night vision,
when a deep sleep falls on mankind
while they sleep on their beds.
16 That’s when he opens the ear of mankind,
authenticating his messages[b] to them,
17 turning a person from his actions,
keeping him[c] from pride,
18 sparing his soul from the Pit[d]
and his life from violent death.[e]
19 “He is being reproved by painful bed rest,
with continual aching in his bones.
20 He cannot stand his food,
and he[f] has no desire for appetizing food.
21 His flesh wastes away;
his bones, which once couldn’t be seen, are visible.
22 His soul is getting close to the Pit;[g]
his life is approaching its executioner.”
