Job 33:14-24

The Darby Translation DBY

14 For God speaketh once, and twice, -- [and man] perceiveth it not --

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

16 Then he openeth men's ears, and sealeth their instruction,

17 That he may withdraw man [from his] work, and hide pride from man.

18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the sword.

19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with constant strife in his bones;

20 And his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty food;

21 His flesh is consumed away from view, and his bones that were not seen stick out;

22 And his soul draweth near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his duty;

24 Then he will be gracious unto him, and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

New International Version NIV

17 to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride,

18 to 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,

20 so that their body finds food repulsive and their soul loathes the choicest meal.

21 Their flesh wastes away to nothing, and their bones, once hidden, now stick out.

22 They draw near to the pit, and their life to the messengers of death.

23 Yet if there is an angel at their side, a messenger, one out of a thousand, sent to tell them how to be upright,

24 and he is gracious to that person and says to God, ‘Spare them from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for them—
