ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Now a word was brought to me stealthily;

my ear received the whisper of it.

Amid thoughts from visions of the night,

when deep sleep falls on men,

dread came upon me, and trembling,

which made all my bones shake.

A spirit glided past my face;

the hair of my flesh stood up.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“A word was secretly brought to me,

my ears caught a whisper of it.

Amid disquieting dreams in the night,

when deep sleep falls on people,

fear and trembling seized me

and made all my bones shake.

A spirit glided past my face,

and the hair on my body stood on end.

NLTNew Living Translation

“This truth was given to me in secret,

as though whispered in my ear.

It came to me in a disturbing vision at night,

when people are in a deep sleep.

Fear gripped me,

and my bones trembled.

A spirit swept past my face,

and my hair stood on end.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“And a word came stealing to me,

and my ear received the whisper from it.

Amid troubling thoughts from night visions,

at the falling of deep sleep on men,

dread met me, and trembling,

and it made many of my bones shake.

And a spirit glided before my face;

the hair of my flesh bristled.

KJV 1900King James Version

Now a thing was secretly brought to me,

And mine ear received a little thereof.

In thoughts from the visions of the night,

When deep sleep falleth on men,

Fear came upon me, and trembling,

Which made all my bones to shake.

Then a spirit passed before my face;

The hair of my flesh stood up:
