"In a dream, in a vision at night,
when slumber falls upon people,
as they sleep in their beds,
he opens peoples ears
and seals the matter with a warning,
to turn a person away from his action
and protect a man from pride,
so that he will keep himself away from the pit
and from perishing by the sword.
"He also is warned by pain in his bed,
when all his bones are hurting;
so that he detests bread
as well as richer food.
His flesh wastes away, till one can't stand to look:
his bones protrude and become unsightly.
His soul comes close to the pit
and his life to those who bring death.
"If there is for him an angel,
a mediator, one among a thousand,
who can vouch for the man's uprightness;
Then God is gracious to him and say's,
'Redeem him from going down to the pit;
I have found a ransom.'
His flesh becomes fresher than that of a child,
he returns to the days of his youth.
He prays to God and is accepted by him,
so that he sees god's face with joy,
and God repays the man for his righteousness.
He declares before everyone, 'I sinned;
I perverted what was right,
and it gained me nothing.
'God redeemed me from going to the pit,
and now my life sees light.'
God will accopmlish all these things
twice, even three times, with a man,
to bring him back from the pit,
so that he can enjoy the light of the living.
Job 33:15-30
Heavy and uplifting at the same time.
Consider how blessed we are, able to communicate.
Love, and silky breath
