Job 33:9
7 Surely no fear of me should terrify you; nor will my hand be heavy upon you.
8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words:
‘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.
11 He puts my feet in the stocks; He watches over all my paths.’
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
