Job 33:1-7

1“Please, Job, listen to my words and consider everything I say.

2I’ve opened my mouth. The words are on the tip of my tongue.

3My words are straight from the heart, and I sincerely speak the knowledge that is on my lips.

4“God’s Spirit has made me. The breath of the Almighty gives me life.

5Answer me if you can. Present your case to me, and take your stand.

6Indeed, I stand in front of God as you do. I, too, was formed from a piece of clay.

7You certainly don’t need to be terrified of me. I won’t put too much pressure on you.
