Elihu Rebukes Job

33 “But now, hear my speech, O Job,
    and listen to all my words.
Behold, I (A)open my mouth;
    the tongue in my mouth speaks.
My words declare the uprightness of my heart,
    and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
(B)The Spirit of God has made me,
    and (C)the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
(D)Answer me, if you can;
    (E)set your words in order before me; take your stand.
Behold, I am toward God as you are;
    I too was pinched off from a piece of (F)clay.
Behold, no (G)fear of me need terrify you;
    my (H)pressure will not be heavy upon you.

Elihu Rebukes Job

33 “But now, please hear my speeches,[a] Job,
and hear[b] all my words.
Please look, I open my mouth;
my tongue in my mouth speaks.
My words declare my heart’s uprightness,
and my lips sincerely speak what my lips know.[c]
The Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of Shaddai gives life to me.
“If you are able, answer me.
Present your argument before me;[d] take your stand.
Look, before God I am like you;[e]
I myself was also formed from clay.
Look, dread of me should not terrify you,
and my hand will not be heavy upon you.
