3 My reasons declare the uprightness of my heart; and my lips shall utter pure knowledge.
4 The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead; I also am formed out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8 Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9 I am clean without rebellion, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
