Job 33:8

6 I am just like you before God; I was also formed from clay.

7 Surely no fear of me should terrify you; nor will my hand be heavy upon you.

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.

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