33 “However, Job, please hear my speech,
    and listen to all my words.
See now, I have opened my mouth.
    My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
My words will utter the uprightness of my heart.
    That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
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, and stand up.
Behold, I am toward God even as you are.
    I am also formed out of the clay.
Behold, my terror will not make you afraid,
    neither will my pressure be heavy on you.

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.
