33 “Now, Job, ·listen to [hear] my words.
    Pay attention to ·everything I say [L all my words].
I open my mouth
    and ·am ready to speak [L the tongue in my mouth speaks].
My words come from an ·honest [virtuous] heart,
    and ·I am sincere in saying what I know [L what my lips know they speak with sincerity].
The Spirit of God ·created [has made] me,
    and the breath of ·the Almighty [Shaddai] gave me life.
Answer me if you can;
    get yourself ready and stand before me.
I am just like you before God;
    I too ·am made [was formed] out of clay.
·Don’t be afraid of me [L Dread of me should not scare you];
    ·I will not be hard on you [L My pressure will not be too heavy on you].
