Elihu Invites Job’s Attention

33:1 “But now, O Job, listen to my words,

and hear1 everything I have to say!2

33:2 See now, I have opened3 my mouth;

my tongue in my mouth has spoken.4

33:3 My words come from the uprightness of my heart,5

and my lips will utter knowledge sincerely.6

33:4 The Spirit of God has made me,

and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.7

33:5 Reply to me, if you can;

set your arguments8 in order before me

and take your stand!

33:6 Look, I am just like you in relation to God;

I too have been molded9 from clay.

33:7 Therefore no fear of me should terrify you,

nor should my pressure10 be heavy on you.11
