1. And now, Job, listen carefullyto all that I have to say.
2. I am ready to say what's on my mind.
3. All my words are sincere,and I am speaking the truth.
4. God's Spirit made me and gave me life.
5. Answer me if you can. Prepare your arguments.
6. You and I are the same in God's sight,both of us were formed from clay.
7. So you have no reason to fear me;I will not overpower you.
