Job 33:16–17

16 he may speak in their ears

and terrify them with warnings,

17 to turn them from wrongdoing

and keep them from pride,

16 then he opens the ears of men

and terrifies them with warnings,

17 that he may turn man aside from his deed

and conceal pride from a man;

16 He whispers in their ears

and terrifies them with warnings.

17 He makes them turn from doing wrong;

he keeps them from pride.

16 Then He opens the ears of men,

And seals their instruction.

17 In order to turn man from his deed,

And conceal pride from man,

16 He speaks in their ears

and frightens them with warnings

17 to turn them away from doing wrong

and to keep them from being proud.

16 Then he openeth the ears of men,

And sealeth their instruction,

17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose,

And hide pride from man;

16 Then he openeth men’s ears, and sealeth their instruction, 17 That he may withdraw man from his work, and hide pride from man.

16 he opens people’s ears 

and terrifies them with warnings. 

17 ⸤He warns them⸥ to turn away from doing ⸤wrong⸥ 

and to stop being arrogant.

16 He uncovers their ears at that time

and terrifies them with warnings,

17 in order to turn a person from his actions

and suppress his pride.

16 then he opens their ears

and terrifies them with warnings,

17 that he may turn them aside from their deeds

and keep them from pride,

16 then he opens the ear of men,

and he frightens them with a warning

17 to turn human beings aside from their deeds,

and he keeps man from pride.

16 He might speak in their ears.

His warnings might terrify them.

17 He warns men in order to turn them away from sinning.

He wants to keep them from being proud.

16 Then He opens the ears of men,

And seals their instruction,

17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct,

And keep man from pride;
