2 Now that I have begun to speak,let me continue.
3 I speak with all sincerity;I speak the truth.
4 For the Spirit of God has made me,and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Answer me, if you can;make your case and take your stand.
6 Look, you and I both belong to God.I, too, was formed from clay.
7 So you don’t need to be afraid of me.I won’t come down hard on you.
8 “You have spoken in my hearing,and I have heard your very words.
