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
New Living Translation
14 For God speaks again and again,
though people do not recognize it.
15 He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night,
when deep sleep falls on people
as they lie in their beds.
16 He whispers in their ears
and terrifies them with warnings.
17 He makes them turn from doing wrong;
he keeps them from pride.
18 He protects them from the grave,
from crossing over the river of death.
19 “Or God disciplines people with pain on their sickbeds,
with ceaseless aching in their bones.
20 They lose their appetite
for even the most delicious food.
21 Their flesh wastes away,
and their bones stick out.
22 They are at death’s door;
the angels of death wait for them.
