Job 33:8-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 “Surely, you have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard the sound of your words.
9 You say, ‘I am clean, without transgression;
I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me.(A)
10 Look, he finds occasions against me;
he counts me as his enemy;(B)
11 he puts my feet in the stocks
and watches all my paths.’(C)
12 “But in this you are not right. I will answer you:
God is greater than any mortal.
13 Why do you contend against him,
saying, ‘He will answer none of my[a] words’?(D)

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 guilt.(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]
