Job 4:12

[Eliphaz has so far referred to Job's reason and human wisdom. Now a new track follows with a prophetic revelation. It may be a fictional story, or it may be an experience he has had, which he now shares with Job and the other acquaintances who are also listening to what he says.]
A word (message – Hebr. davar) came to me secretly
and my ear received its whisper (Hebr. shemets). [The word is only used here and in Job 26:14.]
