1 “But now, Job, listen to my words and give ear to everything I say.
2 See now, I open my mouth; my tongue in my mouth speaks.
3 My words are from my upright heart; my lips speak sincerely what they know.
4 “The Ruach of God has made me; the breath of Shaddai gives me life.
5 Answer me, if you can; array yourselves before me; take your stand!
6 Look, I am the same as you before God; I too am formed from clay.
7 See, no fear of me should terrify you, nor should my pressure be heavy on you.
