Job 33:1-7
Legacy Standard Bible
Elihu Asks Job to Hear and Respond
33 “However now, Job, please (A)hear my speech,
And give ear to all my words.
2 Behold now, I open my mouth;
My tongue in my [a]mouth speaks.
3 My words are from the uprightness of my heart,
And my lips speak (B)knowledge sincerely.
4 The (C)Spirit of God has made me,
And the (D)breath of [b]the Almighty gives me life.
5 (E)Respond to me if you can;
Arrange yourselves before me, take your stand.
6 Behold, I belong to God like you;
I too have been [c]formed out of the (F)clay.
7 Behold, (G)no dread of me should terrify you,
Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.
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.
