Job 33:16

He opens their ears and terrifies them with warnings

Job 33:16 · BSB

Job 33:16 in context

The verses around it, from Job 33.

12 Behold, you are not right in this matter. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.

13 Why do you complain to Him that He answers nothing a man asks?

14 For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.

15 In a dream, in a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls upon men as they slumber on their beds,

16 He opens their ears and terrifies them with warnings

17 to turn a man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,

18 to preserve his soul from the Pit and his life from perishing by the sword.

19 A man is also chastened on his bed with pain and constant distress in his bones,

20 so that he detests his bread, and his soul loathes his favorite food.
