Job 7:14
then You frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
BSB
ASV
Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions:
KJV
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
Then Thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions. But lest anyone should be at pains to make out these words after the literal sense, it is of great importance to find out in how many ways the mind is affected by images from dreams. For sometimes dreams are engendered of fulness or emptiness of the belly, sometimes of illusion, sometimes of illusion and thought combined, sometimes of revelation, while sometimes they are engendered of imagination, thought, and revelation together.
Thou sparest me with dreams - There is no doubt that Satan was permitted to haunt his imagination with dreadful dreams and terrific appearances; so that, as soon as he fell asleep, he was suddenly roused and alarmed by those appalling images. He needed rest by sleep, but was afraid to close his eyes because of the horrid images which were presented to his imagination. Could there be a state more deplorable than this?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

When the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners came in, I told them the dream, and they could not interpret it for me.
But the magicians of Egypt did the same things by their magic arts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
