Job 33:14-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 33
14Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it. 15In a dream, a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on people, While they slumber in their beds, 16Then He opens the ears of people, And horrifies them with warnings, 17So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct, And keep a man from pride; 18He keeps his soul back from the pit, And his life from perishing by the spear. 19' A person is also rebuked by pain in his bed, And with constant complaint in his bones, 20So that his life loathes bread, And his soul, food that he should crave. 21His flesh wastes away from sight, And his bones, which were not seen, stick out. 22Then his soul comes near to the pit, And his life to those who bring death. 23'If there is an interceding angel for him, One out of a thousand, To remind a person of what is right for him,King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 33
14For God speaks time and again, but a person may not notice it. 15In a dream, a vision in the night, when deep sleep comes over people as they slumber on their beds, 16he uncovers their ears and terrifies them with warnings, 17in order to turn a person from his actions and suppress the pride of a person. 18God spares his soul from the Pit, his life from crossing the river of death. 19A person may be disciplined on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones, 20so that he detests bread, and his soul despises his favorite food. 21His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his unseen bones stick out. 22He draws near to the Pit, and his life to the executioners. 23If there is an angel on his side, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what is right for himNew Living Translation
Chapter 33
14For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. 15He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. 16He whispers in their ears and terrifies them with warnings. 17He makes them turn from doing wrong; he keeps them from pride. 18He protects them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death.English Standard Version
Chapter 33
14For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it. 15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds, 16then he opens the ears of men and terrifies them with warnings, 17that he may turn man aside from his deed and conceal pride from a man; 18he keeps back his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword. 19"Man is also rebuked with pain on his bed and with continual strife in his bones, 20so that his life loathes bread, and his appetite the choicest food. 21His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen, and his bones that were not seen stick out. 22His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death. 23If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him,New International Version
Chapter 33
14For God does speak—now one way, now another— though no one perceives it. 15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds, 16he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, 17to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride,
18to preserve them from the pit, their lives from perishing by the sword.
19"Or someone may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in their bones,
20so that their body finds food repulsive and their soul loathes the choicest meal.
21Their flesh wastes away to nothing, and their bones, once hidden, now stick out.
22They draw near to the pit, and their life to the messengers of death.
23Yet if there is an angel at their side, a messenger, one out of a thousand, sent to tell them how to be upright,
