For He does not give account of any of His matters. 14 For God speaks once, yes, twice, yet man does not perceive it. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16 Then He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction, 17 That He may withdraw man from his purpose and hide pride from man. 18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
