1 “Therefore, Job, I pray, hear my speeches,and listen to all my words.
2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth;my tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 My words will be from the uprightness of my heart,and my lips will utter knowledge clearly.
4 The Spirit of God has made me,and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.
5 If you can answer me,set your words in order before me; stand up.
6 Surely I am before God like you;I also am formed out of the clay.
