Job 33:8-13
Christian Standard Bible
8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard these very[a] words:
9 “I am pure, without transgression;
I am clean and have no iniquity.(A)
10 But he finds reasons to oppose me;
he regards me as his enemy.(B)
11 He puts my feet in the stocks;
he stands watch(C) over all my paths.”
12 But I tell you that you are wrong in this matter,
since God is greater than man.(D)
13 Why do you take(E) him to court
for not answering anything a person asks?[b]
Job 33:8-13
Common English Bible
The argument
8 You certainly said in my hearing;
I heard the sound of your words:
9 “I’m pure, without sin;
I’m innocent, without offense.
10 Notice that he invents arguments against me;
he considers me his enemy,
11 ties up my feet,
watches all my paths.”
12 Now you’re wrong about this; I’ll answer you,
for God is greater than anybody.
13 Why do you contend with him,
saying that he doesn’t answer all your words?[a]
