Job 33:18 in Context (Verses 15–21 KJV)
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.*
21
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
