Context of Job 33:11
9‘I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent and there is no guilt in me. 10Behold, God finds pretexts against me; He counts me as His enemy. He puts my feet in the stocks [to hinder and humiliate me]; He [suspiciously] watches all my paths,’ [you say]. 12Look, let me answer you, in this you are not right or just; For God is greater and far superior to man. 13“Why do you complain against Him? That He does not answer [you with] all His doings.
