1. Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.
2. Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue speaketh in my palate,
3. My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge purely.
4. The Spirit of ·God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5. If thou canst, answer me; array thy words before me: take thy stand.
