Job 33:8-13
New American Standard Bible
8 “You have in fact spoken [a]while I listened,
And I heard the sound of your words:
9 ‘I am (A)pure, (B)without wrongdoing;
I am innocent and there (C)is no guilt in me.
10 Behold, He [b]invents [c]criticisms against me;
He (D)counts me as His enemy.
11 He (E)puts my feet in the stocks;
He watches all my paths.’
12 Behold, let me respond to you, (F)you are not right in this,
For God is greater than mankind.
13 “Why do you (G)complain to Him
That He does not give an account of all His doings?
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]
