33:9 'I am pure and without sin; I am clean and free from guilt.
33:10 Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy.
33:11 He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.'
33:12 "But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than man.
33:13 Why do you complain to him that he answers none of man's words ?
33:14 For God does speak-now one way, now another- though man may not perceive it.
33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds,
33:16 he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,
33:17 to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,
33:18 to preserve his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword.
33:19 Or a man may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in his bones,
33:20 so that his very being finds food repulsive and his soul loathes the choicest meal.
33:21 His flesh wastes away to nothing, and his bones, once hidden, now stick out.
33:22 His soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the messengers of death.
