7. Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.
8. Surely--thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:
9. `Pure [am] I, without transgression, Innocent [am] I, and I have no iniquity.
10. Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,
11. He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'
12. Lo, [in] this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.
13. Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When [for] all His matters He answereth not?
14. For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)
15. In a dream--a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.
16. Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth:
17. To turn aside man [from] doing, And pride from man He concealeth.
