View In My Bible
9
'I am pure1 and without sin;2 I am clean and free from guilt.3
10
Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy.4
11
He fastens my feet in shackles;5 he keeps close watch on all my paths.'6
12
"But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than man.7
13
Why do you complain to him8 that he answers none of man's wordsa ?9
14
For God does speak10--now one way, now another11-- though man may not perceive it.12
15
In a dream,13 in a vision14 of the night,15 when deep sleep16 falls on men as they slumber in their beds,
16
he may speak17 in their ears and terrify them18 with warnings,19
17
to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride,20
18
to preserve his soul from the pit,b21 his life from perishing by the sword.c22
19
Or a man may be chastened23 on a bed of pain24 with constant distress in his bones,25
