3 My words come from an honest heart.I am sincere when I speak what I know.
4 The Spirit of God created me.The breath of God All-Powerful gave me life.
5 Answer me if you can.Get yourself ready and stand before me.
6 I am just like you before God.I was also made out of clay.
7 Don’t be afraid of me.I will not be hard on you.
8 “But I heard what you have said.I heard every word.
9 You said, ‘I am pure and without sin.I am innocent and free from guilt.
