Job 33:1-7

1“But now, Job, listen to my words; pay attention to everything I say.

2I am about to open my mouth; my words are on the tip of my tongue.

3My words come from an upright heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know.

4The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

5Answer me then, if you can; stand up and argue your case before me.

6I am the same as you in God’s sight; I too am a piece of clay.

7No fear of me should alarm you, nor should my hand be heavy on you.
