8. I have heard you argue
9. that you are innocent,guilty of nothing.
10. You claim that Godhas made you his enemy,
11. that he has bound your feetand blocked your path.
12. But, Job, you're wrong—God is greaterthan any human.
13. So why do you challenge Godto answer you?
14. God speaks in different ways,and we don't alwaysrecognize his voice.
15-16. Sometimes in the night,he uses terrifying dreamsto give us warnings.
17. God does this to make us turnfrom sin and pride
18. and to protect usfrom being swept awayto the world of the dead.
