12. In this you are not just, let me tell you;for God is greater than mortals.
13. Why, then, do you make complaint against himthat he gives no reply to their words?
14. For God does speak, once,even twice, though you do not see it:
15. In a dream, in a vision of the night,when deep sleep falls upon mortalsas they slumber in their beds.
16. It is then he opens their earsand with a warning, terrifies them,
17. By turning mortals from actingand keeping pride away from a man,
18. He holds his soul from the pit,his life from passing to the grave.
