Job 33:9-19

9 'I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent and there is no guilt in me.

10 'Behold, He invents pretexts against me; He counts me as His enemy.

11 'He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches all my paths.'

12 "Behold, let me tell you, you are not right in this, For God is greater than man.

13 "Why do you complain against Him That He does not give an account of all His doings?

14 "Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it.

15 "In a dream, a vision of the night, When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds,

16 Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,

17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep man from pride;

18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from passing over into Sheol.

19 "Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, And with unceasing complaint in his bones;

Job 4:12-17

12 "Now a word was brought to me stealthily, And my ear received a whisper of it.

13 "Amid disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on men,

14 Dread came upon me, and trembling, And made all my bones shake.

15 "Then a spirit passed by my face; The hair of my flesh bristled up.

16 "It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; A form was before my eyes; There was silence, then I heard a voice:

17 'Can mankind be just before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?

Job 33:15-18

15 "In a dream, a vision of the night, When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds,

16 Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,

17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep man from pride;

18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from passing over into Sheol.
