Job 33:6-18 - Heartlight

⁶I am just like you before God;

I was also formed from clay.

⁷Surely no fear of me should terrify you;

nor will my hand be heavy upon you.

⁸Surely you have spoken in my hearing,

and I have heard these very words:

⁹‘I am pure, without transgression;

I am clean, with no iniquity in me.

¹⁰Yet God finds occasions against me;

He counts me as His enemy.

¹¹He puts my feet in the stocks;

He watches over all my paths.’

¹²Behold, you are not right in this matter.

I will answer you, for God is greater than man.

¹³Why do you complain to Him

that He answers nothing a man asks?

¹⁴For God speaks in one way and in another,

yet no one notices.

¹⁵In a dream,

in a vision in the night,

when deep sleep falls upon men

as they slumber on their beds,

¹⁶He opens their ears

and terrifies them with warnings

¹⁷to turn a man from wrongdoing

and keep him from pride,

¹⁸to preserve his soul from the Pit

and his life from perishing by the sword.

Illustration of Job 33:14-18 NLT -- For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. He whispers in their ears and terrifies them with warnings. He makes them turn from doing wrong; he keeps them from pride. He protects them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death.
