Job 33:13-28

13“Why do you 1complain to Him That He does not give an account of all His doings?14Indeed 2God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it.15In a 3dream, a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on people, While they slumber in their beds,16Then 4He opens the ears of people, And horrifies them with warnings,17So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct, And 5keep a man from pride;18He 6keeps his soul back from the pit, And his life from perishing by the 7spear.

19“A person is also rebuked by 8pain in his bed, And with constant complaint in his bones,20So that his life 9loathes bread, And his soul, food 10that he should crave.21His 11flesh wastes away from sight, And his 12bones, which were not seen, stick out.22Then 13his soul comes near to the pit, And his life to those who bring death.

23“If there is an 14interceding angel for him, One out of a thousand, To remind a person of what is 15right for him,24And he is gracious to him, and says, ‘Free him from 16going down to the pit, I have found a 17ransom’;25Let his flesh become fresher than in youth, Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;26Then he will 18pray to God, and He will accept him, So that 19he may see His face with joy, And He will restore His righteousness to that person.27He will sing to people and say, ‘I 20have sinned and perverted what is right, And it is not 21proper for me.28He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit, And my life will 22see the light.’
