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.
         
                                
                        18 He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life  from passing away by a dart.
