Job 33:13-28

13Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

14For 1God speaketh once, and twice, — [and man] perceiveth it not —

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

25His flesh shall be fresher than in childhood; he shall return to the days of his youth.

26He shall pray unto 2God, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto man his righteousness.

27He will sing before men, and say, I have sinned, and perverted what was right, and it hath not been requited to me;

28He hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.
