Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

Behold, {in} this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. {he giveth...: Heb. he answereth not}

For God speaketh once, yea twice, {yet man} perceiveth it not.
