Job 33:15 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Job 33:15

Compare all

13 Why do you ^acontend with Him?
For He does not give an accounting of any of His words.

14 ^aFor God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.

15 ^aIn a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,

16 ^aThen He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.

17 In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,

Job 33:15

slumberings—light is opposed to "deep sleep." Elihu has in view Eliphaz (Job 4:13), and also Job himself (Job 7:14). "Dreams" in sleep, and "visions" of actual apparitions, were among the ways whereby God then spake to man (Genesis 20:3).
