ReplyDeleteJob 33:4 GW
In a dream, a prophetic vision at night, when people fall into a deep sleep, when they sleep on their beds, he opens people’s ears and terrifies them with warnings. ⌞He warns them⌟ to turn away from doing ⌞wrong⌟ and to stop being arrogant. He keeps their souls from the pit and their lives from crossing the River ⌞of Death⌟. In pain on their sickbeds, they are disciplined with endless aching in their bones so that their whole being hates food and they lose their appetite for a delicious meal. Their flesh becomes so thin that it can’t be seen. Their bones, not seen before, will be exposed. Their souls approach the pit. Their lives come close to those already dead.
