12. “Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you,for God is greater than man.
13. Why do you contend against him,saying, ‘He will answer none of man’s words’?
14. For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.
15. In a dream, in a vision of the night,when deep sleep falls on men,while they slumber on their beds,
16. then he opens the ears of menand terrifies them with warnings,
17. that he may turn man aside from his deedand conceal pride from a man;
18. he keeps back his soul from the pit,his life from perishing by the sword.
19. “Man is also rebuked with pain on his bedand with continual strife in his bones,
20. so that his life loathes bread,and his appetite the choicest food.
21. His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen,and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22. His soul draws near the pit,and his life to those who bring death.
