3. My words come from my upright heart,and my lips speak with sincerity what they know.
4. The Spirit of God has made me,and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5. Refute me if you can.Prepare your case against me; take your stand.
6. I am just like you before God;I was also pinched off from a piece of clay.
7. Fear of me should not terrify you;the pressure I exert against you will be light.
8. Surely you have spoken in my hearing,and I have heard these very words:
9. “I am pure, without transgression;I am clean and have no guilt.
10. But He finds reasons to oppose me;He regards me as His enemy.
11. He puts my feet in the stocks;He stands watch over all my paths.”
