Job 33:1-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

33 But now, Job, listen to my speech.
Pay close attention to all my words.
² Listen, because I have opened my mouth.
See how my tongue shapes words in my mouth.
³ My speech will reveal my upright heart.
My lips express my knowledge plainly.^[a]
4 The spirit^[b] of God made me.
The breath of the Almighty gave me life.

⁵ Refute me if you are able.
Lay out your case before me! Take your stand!
⁶ Look, my mouth belongs to God, just as your mouth does.
Like you I was snipped off from a lump of clay.
⁷ Look, you should not be terrified by how awesome I am.
Pressure from me should not intimidate you.
