Job 33:14–16

²⁴¶ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

¹⁰And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

¹¹God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.

²⁹Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

²⁵Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

¹⁹And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

⁹¶ And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

¹⁴And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

¹⁷And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

¹⁸Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

²⁹For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

⁵Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

⁶And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

¹³In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

³But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.

²⁴And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

⁵I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

¹⁸Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

²⁸The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord.

¹²And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

¹GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

¹⁰He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

¹⁵He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.

⁶Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

⁵¶ The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.

¹⁴¶ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

¹⁰Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

⁴⁵Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

²⁷For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

⁸Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.

³⁸And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.

²⁸When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
