ESVEnglish Standard Version

For God speaks in one way,

and in two, though man does not perceive it.

In a dream, in a vision of the night,

when deep sleep falls on men,

while they slumber on their beds,

then he opens the ears of men

and terrifies them with warnings,

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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

though no one perceives it.

In a dream, in a vision of the night,

when deep sleep falls on people

as they slumber in their beds,

he may speak in their ears

and terrify them with warnings,

CSBChristian Standard Bible

For God speaks time and again,

but a person may not notice it.

In a dream, a vision in the night,

when deep sleep comes over people

as they slumber on their beds,

he uncovers their ears

and terrifies them with warnings,

NLTNew Living Translation

For God speaks again and again,

though people do not recognize it.

He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night,

when deep sleep falls on people

as they lie in their beds.

He whispers in their ears

and terrifies them with warnings.

KJV 1900King James Version

For God speaketh once,

Yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

In a dream, in a vision of the night,

When deep sleep falleth upon men,

In slumberings upon the bed;

Then he openeth the ears of men,

And sealeth their instruction,
