Job 33:15
13 Why do you complain to Him that He answers nothing a man asks?
14 For God speaks in one way and in another, yet no one notices.
In a dream, in a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls upon men as they slumber on their beds,
16 He opens their ears and terrifies them with warnings
17 to turn a man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
