1. And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and [to] all my words give ear.
2. Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.
3. Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.
4. The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.
5. If thou art able--answer me, Set in array before me--station thyself.
6. Lo, I [am], according to thy word, for God, From the clay I--I also, have been formed.
7. Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.
8. Surely--thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:
9. `Pure [am] I, without transgression, Innocent [am] I, and I have no iniquity.
10. Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,
11. He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'
12. Lo, [in] this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.
