Job 33:15-18

^{Tools
15}

“In a ^(A)dream, a vision of the night,
When sound sleep falls on men,
While they slumber in their beds,

^{Tools
16}

Then ^(B)He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction,

^{Tools
17}

That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
And ^(a)keep man from pride;

^{Tools
18}

He ^(C)keeps back his soul from the pit,
And his life from ^(b)passing over ^(D)into Sheol.
