2 I open my mouthand am ready to speak.
3 My words come from an honest heart,and I am sincere in saying what I know.
4 The Spirit of God created me,and the breath of the Almighty 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 too am 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.
