1 “Please, Job, listen to my wordsand consider everything I say.
2 I’ve opened my mouth.The words are on the tip of my tongue.
3 My words are straight from the heart,and I sincerely speak the knowledge that is on my lips.
4 “God’s Spirit has made me.The breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Answer me if you can.Present your case to me, and take your stand.
6 Indeed, I stand in front of God as you do.I, too, was formed from a piece of clay.
