You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?”

Job 33:6-18

Job 33:6-18
New Living Translation
6 Look, you and I both belong to God.
I, too, was formed from clay.
7 So you don’t need to be afraid of me.
I won’t come down hard on you.
8 “You have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard your very words.
9 You said, ‘I am pure; I am without sin;
I am innocent; I have no guilt.
10 God is picking a quarrel with me,
and he considers me his enemy.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks
and watches my every move.’
12 “But you are wrong, and I will show you why.
For God is greater than any human being.
13 So why are you bringing a charge against him?
Why say he does not respond to people’s complaints?
14 For God speaks again and again,
though people do not recognize it.
15 He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night,
when deep sleep falls on people
as they lie in their beds.
16 He whispers in their ears
and terrifies them with warnings.
17 He makes them turn from doing wrong;
he keeps them from pride.
18 He protects them from the grave,
from crossing over the river of death.

Job 33:6-18
New International Version
6 I am the same as you in God’s sight;(A)
I too am a piece of clay.(B)
7 No fear of me should alarm you,
nor should my hand be heavy on you.(C)
8 “But you have said in my hearing—
I heard the very words—
9 ‘I am pure,(D) I have done no wrong;(E)
I am clean and free from sin.(F)
10 Yet God has found fault with me;
he considers me his enemy.(G)
11 He fastens my feet in shackles;(H)
he keeps close watch on all my paths.’(I)
12 “But I tell you, in this you are not right,
for God is greater than any mortal.(J)
13 Why do you complain to him(K)
that he responds to no one’s words[a]?(L)
14 For God does speak(M)—now one way, now another(N)—
though no one perceives it.(O)
15 In a dream,(P) in a vision(Q) of the night,(R)
when deep sleep(S) falls on people
as they slumber in their beds,
16 he may speak(T) in their ears
and terrify them(U) with warnings,(V)
17 to turn them from wrongdoing
and keep them from pride,(W)
18 to preserve them from the pit,(X)
their lives from perishing by the sword.[b](Y)

3 If only I knew where to find God,
I would go to his court.
4 I would lay out my case
and present my arguments.
5 Then I would listen to his reply
and understand what he says to me.
6 Would he use his great power to argue with me?
No, he would give me a fair hearing.
7 Honest people can reason with him,
so I would be forever acquitted by my judge.

and fill my mouth with arguments.(C)
5 I would find out what he would answer me,(D)
and consider what he would say to me.
6 Would he vigorously oppose me?(E)
No, he would not press charges against me.(F)
7 There the upright(G) can establish their innocence before him,(H)
and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.(I)
