Context of Job 33:9
7Fear of me should not terrify you; no pressure from me should weigh you down. 8Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words: “I am pure, without transgression; I am clean and have no iniquity. 10But he finds reasons to oppose me; he regards me as his enemy. 11He puts my feet in the stocks; he stands watch over all my paths.”
