3. My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
4. The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.
5. If you can answer me, set your words in order before me, stand up.
6. Behold, I am according to your wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7. Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon you.
8. Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of your words, saying,
9. I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10. Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me for his enemy,
11. He puts my feet in the stocks, he marks all my paths.
12. Behold, in this you are not just: I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
13. Why do you strive against him? for he gives not account of any of his matters.
14. For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.
15. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16. Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
17. That he may turn man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
