Job 33:6-18

6I am the same as you in God’s sight; I too am a piece of clay. 7No fear of me should alarm you, nor should my hand be heavy on you. 8“But you have said in my hearing— I heard the very words— 9‘I am pure, I have done no wrong; I am clean and free from sin. 10Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy. 11He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.’ 12“But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than any mortal. 13Why do you complain to him that he responds to no one’s words? 14For God does speak—now one way, now another— though no one perceives it. 15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds, 16he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, 17to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride, 18to preserve them from the pit, their lives from perishing by the sword.
