Job 33:14-22
New American Standard Bible
14 Indeed (A)God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one notices it.
15 In a (B)dream, a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls on people,
While they slumber in their beds,
16 Then (C)He opens the ears of people,
And horrifies them with warnings,
17 So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct,
And [a]keep a man from pride;
18 He (D)keeps his soul back from the pit,
And his life from perishing by the (E)spear.
19 “A person is also rebuked by (F)pain in his bed,
And with constant complaint in his bones,
20 So that his life (G)loathes bread,
And his soul, food [b]that he should crave.
21 His (H)flesh wastes away from sight,
And his (I)bones, which were not seen, stick out.
22 Then (J)his soul comes near to the pit,
And his life to those who bring death.
Job 33:14-22
American Standard Version
14 For God speaketh [a]once,
Yea twice, though man regardeth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falleth upon men,
In slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he [b]openeth the ears of men,
And sealeth their instruction,
17 [c]That he may withdraw man from his purpose,
And hide pride from man;
18 [d]He keepeth back his soul from the pit,
And his life from perishing by the [e]sword.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed,
[f]And with continual strife in his bones;
20 So that his life abhorreth bread,
And his soul dainty food.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen;
And his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit,
And his life to the destroyers.
