15. “In a dream, a vision of the night, when a deep sleep falls on men slumbering on their bed,
16. then he opens the ear of men, and he frightens them with a warning
17. to turn human beings aside from their deeds, and he keeps man from pride.
18. He spares his life from the pit and his life from passing over the river of death.
19. “And he is reproved with pain on his bed, even with the strife of his bones continually,
20. so that his life loathes bread, and his inner self loathes appetizing food.
21. His flesh is wasted away from sight, and his bones, which are invisible, are bared.
22. And he draws near to the pit and his life to the killers.
23. “If there is a messenger beside him, a mediator, one of a thousand, to declare to a human being his uprightness
24. so that he is gracious to him, and he says, ‘Deliver him from descending into the pit; I have found a ransom.’
25. His flesh is renewed with his youth; he returns to the days of his youthful strength.
26. He prays to God, then he accepts him, and he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he repays to the human being his righteousness.
