Job 33:17 in Context (Verses 14–20 KJV)
14
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,*
17
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.*
18
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.*
19
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.*
