Elihu Claims to Speak for God

33 “However, please (A)hear my speech, Job,
And listen to all my words.
Behold now, I open my mouth,
My tongue in my [a]mouth speaks.
My words are from the integrity of my heart,
And my lips speak (B)knowledge sincerely.
The (C)Spirit of God has made me,
And the (D)breath of [b]the Almighty gives me life.
(E)Refute me if you can;
Line up against me, take your stand.
Behold, I belong to God, like you;
I too have been [c]formed out of the (F)clay.
Behold, (G)no fear of me should terrify you,
Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.

Elihu Contradicts Job

33 “But please, Job, hear my speech,
And listen to all my words.
Now, I open my mouth;
My tongue speaks in my mouth.
My words come from my upright heart;
My lips utter pure knowledge.
(A)The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
If you can answer me,
Set your words in order before me;
Take your stand.
(B)Truly I am [a]as your spokesman before God;
I also have been formed out of clay.
(C)Surely no fear of me will terrify you,
Nor will my hand be heavy on you.
