8“Surely you have spoken in my hearing, I have heard the voice of your words, saying,

9‘I am clean, without disobedience. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.

10Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.

11He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.’

12“Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just, for God is greater than man.

13Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?

14For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention.

15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed;

16Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,

17that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

18He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
