5. If thou canst, answer thou me; Set thy words in order before me, stand forth.
6. Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.
7. Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
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.
12. Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.
13. Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?
