8 “Surely you have spoken in my ears,

and I have heard the sound of your words.

9 You say, ‘I am pure, without transgression;

I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.

10 Behold, he finds occasions against me,

he counts me as his enemy,

11 he puts my feet in the stocks

and watches all my paths.’

8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing,

And I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

9 I am clean without transgression,

I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me,

He counteth me for his enemy,

11 He putteth my feet in the stocks,

He marketh all my paths.

8 “You have spoken in my hearing,

and I have heard your very words.

9 You said, ‘I am pure; I am without sin;

I am innocent; I have no guilt.

10 God is picking a quarrel with me,

and he considers me his enemy.

11 He puts my feet in the stocks

and watches my every move.’

8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing,

And I have heard the sound of your words, saying,

9 ‘I am pure, without transgression;

I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.

10 Yet He finds occasions against me,

He counts me as His enemy;

11 He puts my feet in the stocks,

He watches all my paths.’

8 “But I heard what you have said;

I heard every word.

9 You said, ‘I am pure and without sin;

I am innocent and free from guilt.

10 But God has found fault with me;

he considers me his enemy.

11 He locks my feet in chains

and closely watches everywhere I go.’

8 Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing,

And I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

9 I am clean, without transgression;

I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:

10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me,

He counteth me for his enemy:

11 He putteth my feet in the stocks,

He marketh all my paths.

8 Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words: — 9 I am clean without transgression; I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me; 10 Lo, he findeth occasions of hostility against me, he counteth me for his enemy; 11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

8 “But you spoke directly to me, 

and I listened to your words. 

9 ⸤You said,⸥ ‘I’m pure—without any rebellious acts ⸤against God⸥. 

I’m clean; I have no sin. 

10 God is only looking for an excuse to attack me. 

He considers me his enemy. 

11 He puts my feet in the stocks and watches all my paths.’ 

8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing,

and I have heard these very words:

9 “I am pure, without transgression;

I am clean and have no guilt.

10 But He finds reasons to oppose me;

He regards me as His enemy.

11 He puts my feet in the stocks;

He stands watch over all my paths.”

8 “Surely, you have spoken in my hearing,

and I have heard the sound of your words.

9 You say, ‘I am clean, without transgression;

I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me.

10 Look, he finds occasions against me,

he counts me as his enemy;

11 he puts my feet in the stocks,

and watches all my paths.’

8 “Surely you have spoken in my ears,

and I have heard the sound of your words:

9 ‘I am clean, without transgression;

I am pure, and there is no guilt in me.

10 Look, he finds fault against me;

he reckons me as his enemy;

11 he puts my feet in the block;

he watches all my paths.’

8 “But I heard what you said.

And here are the exact words I heard.

9 You said, ‘I’m pure. I haven’t sinned in the ways you have charged.

I’m clean. I’m not guilty of doing anything wrong.

10 But God has found fault with me.

He thinks I’m his enemy.

11 He puts my feet in chains.

He watches every step I take.’

8 “Surely you have spoken in my hearing,

And I have heard the sound of your words:

9 ‘I am pure, without transgression;

I am innocent and there is no guilt in me.

10 ‘Behold, He invents pretexts against me;

He counts me as His enemy.

11 ‘He puts my feet in the stocks;

He watches all my paths.’
