1 And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and [to] all my words give ear.
2 Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.
3 Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.
4 The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.
5 If thou art able--answer me, Set in array before me--station thyself.
6 Lo, I [am], according to thy word, for God, From the clay I--I also, have been formed.
7 Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.
