1 But now, listen to me, Job;pay attention to all my words.
2 Notice that I am opening my mouth;my tongue is speaking in my mouth.
3 My words come from a virtuous heart;my lips speak knowledge clearly.
4 God’s spirit made me;the Almighty’s breath enlivens me.
5 If you are able, answer me;lay out your case before me and take a stand.
6 Notice that I’m just like you to God;I also was pinched from clay.
