Job 33:14-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 For God speaks in one way
and in two, though people do not perceive it.(A)
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on mortals,
while they slumber on their beds,(B)
16 then he opens their ears
and terrifies them with warnings,(C)
17 that he may turn them aside from their deeds
and keep them from pride,
18 to spare their souls from the Pit,
their lives from traversing the River.
19 They are also chastened with pain upon their beds
and with continual strife in their bones,(D)
20 so that their lives loathe bread
and their appetites dainty food.(E)
21 Their flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,
and their bones, once invisible, now stick out.(F)
22 Their souls draw near the Pit
and their lives to those who bring death.(G)
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.
