3 My words declare the uprightness of my heart,and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
4 The Spirit of God has made me,and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Answer me, if you can; set your words in order before me; take your stand.
6 Behold, I am toward God as you are;I too was pinched off from a piece of clay.
7 Behold, no fear of me need terrify you;my pressure will not be heavy upon you.
8 “Surely you have spoken in my ears,and I have heard the sound of your words.
9 You say, ‘I am pure, without transgression;I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
