Job 33:16 in Context — Job 33

14 Sin embargo, en una ó en dos [maneras] habla Dios; [mas el hombre] no entiende.

15 Por sueño de visión nocturna, cuando el sueño cae sobre los hombres, cuando se adormecen sobre el lecho;

16 Entonces revela al oído de los hombres, y les señala su consejo;

17 Para quitar al hombre de [su] obra, y apartar del varón la soberbia.

18 Detendrá su alma de corrupción, y su vida de que pase á cuchillo.
