33 “But now, Job, listen(A) to my words;
    pay attention to everything I say.(B)
I am about to open my mouth;
    my words are on the tip of my tongue.
My words come from an upright heart;(C)
    my lips sincerely speak what I know.(D)
The Spirit(E) of God has made me;(F)
    the breath of the Almighty(G) gives me life.(H)
Answer me(I) then, if you can;
    stand up(J) and argue your case before me.(K)
I am the same as you in God’s sight;(L)
    I too am a piece of clay.(M)
No fear of me should alarm you,
    nor should my hand be heavy on you.(N)

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.
