Hebrew Names Version HNV
New International Version NIV
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me, He counts me for his enemy:
10
Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks, He marks all my paths.'
11
He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.’
12 "Behold, I will answer you. In this you are not just; For God is greater than man.
12
“But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than any mortal.
13 Why do you strive against him, Because he doesn't give account of any of his matters?
13
Why do you complain to him that he responds to no one’s words ?
14 For God speaks once, Yes twice, though man pays no attention.
14
For God does speak—now one way, now another— though no one perceives it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on men, In slumbering on the bed;
15
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds,
16 Then he opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,
16
he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man.
17
to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride,
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.
18
to preserve them from the pit, their lives from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened also with pain on his bed, With continual strife in his bones;
19
“Or someone may be chastened on a bed of pain with constant distress in their bones,
20 So that his life abhors bread, And his soul dainty food.
20
so that their body finds food repulsive and their soul loathes the choicest meal.
