Job 33:10

8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words:

9 ‘I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, with no iniquity in me.

Yet God finds occasions against me; He counts me as His enemy.

11 He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches over all my paths.’

12 Behold, you are not right in this matter. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
