Elihu Confronts Job

33 But now, Job, pay attention to my speech,
and listen to all my words.
I am going to open my mouth;
my tongue will form words on my palate.
My words come from my upright(A) heart,
and my lips speak with sincerity what they know.
The Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty(B) gives me life.(C)
Refute me if you can.
Prepare(D) your case against me; take your stand.(E)
I am just like you before God;
I was also pinched off from a piece of clay.(F)
Fear(G) of me should not terrify you;
no pressure from me should weigh you down.

33 “But now, hear my speech, O Job,
    and listen to all my words.
Behold, I (A)open my mouth;

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.
