God never answer a man's complaint?

Job 32:13-33

Why do you accuse God
of never answering a man's complaints?
Although God speaks again and again,
no one pays attention to what he says.

At night when men are asleep,
God speaks in dreams and visions.
He makes them listen to what he says,
and they are frightened at his warnings.

God speaks to make them stop their sinning
and to save them from becoming proud.

He will not let them be destroyed;
he saves them from death itself.

God corrects a man by sending sickness
and filling his body with pain.

The sick man loses his appetite,
and even the finest food looks revolting.
His body wastes away to nothing;
you can see all his bones;
he is about to go to the world of the dead.

Perhaps an angel may come to his aid,
one of God's thousands of angels,
who remind men of their duty.
In mercy the angel will say,
"Release him!
He is not to go down to the world of the dead.
Here is the ransom to set him free."

His body will grow young and strong again;
when he prays, God will answer him;
he will worship God with joy;
God will set things right for him again.

He will say in public,
"I have sinned,
I have not done right,
but God spared me.
He kept me from going to the world of the dead,
and I am still alive."

God does all this again and again;
he saves a person's life,
and gives him the joy of living.
