For He does not answer all of man's words. 14 For God speaks in one way and in two, yet no one perceives it. 15 In a dream, a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while they slumber on their beds, 16 then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction. 17 To turn a man from wrongdoing and to conceal pride from him. 18 He keeps his soul back from the pit and his life from perishing by the sword.
