14 For God does speak—now one way, now another—

though no one perceives it.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,

when deep sleep falls on people

as they slumber in their beds,

16 he may speak in their ears

and terrify them with warnings,

14 For God speaketh once,

Yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,

When deep sleep falleth upon men,

In slumberings upon the bed;

16 Then he openeth the ears of men,

And sealeth their instruction,

14 For God speaks again and again,

though people do not recognize it.

15 He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night,

when deep sleep falls on people

as they lie in their beds.

16 He whispers in their ears

and terrifies them with warnings.

14 For God may speak in one way, or in another,

Yet man does not perceive it.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,

When deep sleep falls upon men,

While slumbering on their beds,

16 Then He opens the ears of men,

And seals their instruction.

14 God does speak—sometimes one way and sometimes another—

even though people may not understand it.

15 He speaks in a dream or a vision of the night

when people are in a deep sleep,

lying on their beds.

16 He speaks in their ears

and frightens them with warnings

14 For God speaketh once,

Yea twice, though man regardeth it not.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,

When deep sleep falleth upon men,

In slumberings upon the bed;

16 Then he openeth the ears of men,

And sealeth their instruction,

14 For •God speaketh once, and twice, —and man perceiveth it not— 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16 Then he openeth men’s ears, and sealeth their instruction,

14 “God speaks in one way, 

even in two ways without people noticing it: 

15 In a dream, a prophetic vision at night, 

when people fall into a deep sleep, 

when they sleep on their beds, 

16 he opens people’s ears 

and terrifies them with warnings. 

14 For God speaks time and again,

but a person may not notice it.

15 In a dream, a vision in the night,

when deep sleep falls on people

as they slumber on their beds,

16 He uncovers their ears at that time

and terrifies them with warnings,

14 For God speaks in one way,

and in two, though people do not perceive it.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,

when deep sleep falls on mortals,

while they slumber on their beds,

16 then he opens their ears,

and terrifies them with warnings,

14 Indeed, God speaks in one way,

even in two, yet someone does not perceive it.

15 “In a dream, a vision of the night,

when a deep sleep falls on men slumbering on their bed,

16 then he opens the ear of men,

and he frightens them with a warning

14 He speaks in one way and then another.

We might not even realize it.

15 He might speak in a dream or in a vision at night.

That’s when people are sound asleep in their beds.

16 He might speak in their ears.

His warnings might terrify them.

14 “Indeed God speaks once,

Or twice, yet no one notices it.

15 “In a dream, a vision of the night,

When sound sleep falls on men,

While they slumber in their beds,

16 Then He opens the ears of men,

And seals their instruction,
