New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
14 "Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it.
14
For God does speak—now one way, now another— though no one perceives it.
15 "In a dream, a vision of the night, When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds,
15
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds,
16 Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,
16
he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,
17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep man from pride;
17
to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride,
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from passing over into Sheol.
18
to preserve them from the pit, their lives from perishing by the sword.
