15 In the dream, a vision of the night,when deep sleep falls upon humans,during their slumber on a bed,
16 then he opens people’s ears,scares them with warnings,
17 to turn them from a deedand to smother human pride.
18 He keeps one from the pit,a life from perishing by the sword.
19 Or a person may be disciplined by painwhile in bed, bones ever aching
20 until a person loathes food,an appetite rejects a delicacy;
21 the flesh wastes away, no longer visible;the bones, once hidden, protrude.
