1. ‘But now, Job, listen to my words;pay attention to everything I say.
2. I am about to open my mouth;my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3. My words come from an upright heart;my lips sincerely speak what I know.
4. The Spirit of God has made me;the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5. Answer me then, if you can;stand up and argue your case before me.
6. I am the same as you in God’s sight;I too am a piece of clay.
