1. Therefore, hear my speeches, Job, and listen to all my words.
2. Behold, I have opened my mouth; let my tongue speak along with my throat.
3. My words are from my simple heart, and my lips will speak a pure judgment.
4. The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
5. If you can, answer me, and oppose me to my face.
6. Behold, God has made me, just as he also has made you, and I, likewise, have been formed of the same clay.
