Job 4:13
Compare all
11 aThe old lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the cubs of the lioness are scattered. 
12 “Now a word was secretly brought to me,
And my ear received a whisper of it.
13 aIn disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men, 
14 Fear came upon me, and atrembling,
Which made all my bones shake. 
15 Then a spirit passed before my face;
The hair on my body stood up.
16 It stood still,
But I could not discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence;
Then I heard a voice saying:
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?
Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
18 If He aputs no trust in His servants,
If He charges His angels with error,

Job 4:13

In thoughts - These thoughts arose from the visions of the night, which it is probable he had seen before. Visions differed from dreams herein, that God imparted his mind to men in dreams when asleep, but in visions, when they were awake. And these visions sometimes happened by day, but most frequently by night. Sleep - In the dead of the night, when men usually are in a deep sleep; though Eliphaz was not now asleep.
