Job 33:1-7

Revised Standard Version

33 “But now, hear my speech, O Job,
    and listen to all my words.
² Behold, I open my mouth;
    the tongue in my mouth speaks.
³ My words declare the uprightness of my heart,
    and what my lips know they speak sincerely.
⁴ The spirit of God has made me,
    and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
⁵ Answer me, if you can;
    set your words in order before me; take your stand.
⁶ Behold, I am toward God as you are;
    I too was formed from a piece of clay.
⁷ Behold, no fear of me need terrify you;
    my pressure will not be heavy upon you.
