1 Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.
2 Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue speaketh in my palate,
3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge purely.
4 The Spirit of ·God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5 If thou canst, answer me; array thy words before me: take thy stand.
