Job 33:14 - 33:22

« Job 32 | Job 33 | Job 34 »

14

Indeed God speaks once,

Or twice, yet no one perceives it.

15

In a dream, a vision of the night,

When deep sleep falls on men,

While they slumber in their beds,

16

Then He opens the ears of men,

And seals in their discipline,

17

That He may turn man aside from his conduct,

And keep man from pride;

18

He holds back his soul from the pit,

And his life from passing over to death by a weapon.

19

“Man is also reproved with pain on his bed,

And with unceasing contention in his bones,

20

So that his life loathes bread,

And his soul favorite food.

21

His flesh wastes away from sight,

And his bones which were not seen stick out.

22

Then his soul draws near to the pit,

And his life to those who bring death.
