5 Answer me then, if you can;stand up and argue your case before me.
6 I am the same as you in God’s sight;I too am a piece of clay.
7 No fear of me should alarm you,nor should my hand be heavy on you.
8 ‘But you have said in my hearing –I heard the very words –
9 “I am pure, I have done no wrong;I am clean and free from sin.
10 Yet God has found fault with me;he considers me his enemy.
11 He fastens my feet in shackles;he keeps close watch on all my paths.”
