3 I will state directly what is in my mind,my lips shall speak knowledge clearly;
4 For the spirit of God made me,the breath of the Almighty keeps me alive.
5 If you are able, refute me;draw up your arguments and take your stand.
6 Look, I am like you before God,I too was pinched from clay.
7 Therefore fear of me should not dismay you,nor should I weigh heavily upon you.
8 But you have said in my hearing,as I listened to the sound of your words:
9 “I am clean, without transgression;I am innocent, there is no guilt in me.
