Context of Job 33:11
9“I am not guilty. I have not done anything that is wrong. I am pure and clean. 10But God has decided to punish me! He attacks me as if I am his enemy. He has tied my feet with chains. He always watches me to see where I go.” 12But now I tell you this, Job: You are not right! God is greater than any human. 13So you should not argue against him. You should not say, “God does not answer any of my questions.”
