18to preserve his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword.


In Context

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds,

16 he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,

17 to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,

18 to preserve his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword.

19 Or a man may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in his bones,

20 so that his very being finds food repulsive and his soul loathes the choicest meal.
