In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,^*

That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.^*

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.^*

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
