You don't need to put a read in everyline, just add a trap like the following into your bash script, it has the effect you want, eg.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -x
trap read debug
< YOUR CODE HERE >
Works, just tested it with bash v4.2.8 and v3.2.25.
IMPROVED VERSION
If your script is reading content from files, the above listed will not work. A workaround could look like the following example.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "Press CTRL+C to proceed."
trap "pkill -f 'sleep 1h'" INT
trap "set +x ; sleep 1h ; set -x" DEBUG
< YOUR CODE HERE >
To stop the script you would have to kill it from another shell in this case.
ALTERNATIVE1
If you simply want to wait a few seconds before proceeding to the next command in your script the following example could work for you.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
trap "set +x; sleep 5; set -x" DEBUG
< YOUR CODE HERE >
I'm adding set +x and set -x within the trap command to make the output more readable.
