Job 33:16-18

The Voice

¹⁶     Yes, this is often when He opens the ears of humanity,
        and seals their life-corrections in the terrors of the night
¹⁷     So that He can turn one away from his evil deeds
        and put down the arrogance of the proud.
¹⁸     He does all of this so that He might hold back one soul from the pit
        and protect one life from passing over to the land of death.^[a]
