Job 33:8-12, 34:5-9, 35:2-3, 40:8, 42:3 | ESV | STEP | Surely you have spoken in my ears , and I have heard the sound of your words .

Job 33:8-12

8 “Surely you have spoken in my ears,
and I have heard the sound of your words.
9 You say, ‘I am ^apure, without ^btransgression;
I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against me,
he ^ccounts me as his enemy,
11 he ^dputs my feet in the stocks
and ^ewatches all my paths.’
12 “Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you,
for God is greater than man.

Job 34:5-9

5 For Job has said, ‘I am ^fin the right,
and ^gGod has taken away my right;
6 in spite of my right I am counted a liar;
my wound is incurable, though I am ^hwithout transgression.’
7 What man is like Job,
who ⁱdrinks up scoffing like water,
8 who travels in company with evildoers
and walks ^jwith wicked men?
9 For ^khe has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
that he should take delight in God.’

Job 35:2-3

2 “Do you think this to be just?
Do you say, ^l‘It is my right before God,’
3 that you ask, ^m‘What advantage have I?
How am I better off than if I had sinned?’

Job 40:8

8 Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that ⁿyou may be in the right?

Job 42:3

3 ^o‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things ^ptoo wonderful for me, which I did not know.
