Job 4:12-17
New American Standard Bible
12 “Now a word (A)was brought to me secretly,
And my ear received a (B)whisper of it.
13 Amid disquieting (C)thoughts from visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on people,
14 Dread came upon me, and trembling,
And made [a]all my bones shake.
15 Then a [b]spirit passed by my face;
The hair of my flesh stood up.
16 Something was standing still, but I could not recognize its appearance;
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence, then I heard a voice:
17 ‘Can (D)mankind be righteous [c]before God?
Can a man be pure [d]before his (E)Maker?
Job 4:12-17
New International Version
12 “A word(A) was secretly brought to me,
my ears caught a whisper(B) of it.(C)
13 Amid disquieting dreams in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people,(D)
14 fear and trembling(E) seized me
and made all my bones shake.(F)
15 A spirit glided past my face,
and the hair on my body stood on end.(G)
16 It stopped,
but I could not tell what it was.
A form stood before my eyes,
and I heard a hushed voice:(H)
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?(I)
Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?(J)
Job 33:15-18
New American Standard Bible
15 In a (A)dream, a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls on people,
While they slumber in their beds,
16 Then (B)He opens the ears of people,
And horrifies them with warnings,
17 So that He may turn a person away from bad conduct,
And [a]keep a man from pride;
18 He (C)keeps his soul back from the pit,
And his life from perishing by the (D)spear.
