6. Look, I am like you before God,I too was pinched from clay.
7. Therefore fear of me should not dismay you,nor should I weigh heavily upon you.
8. But you have said in my hearing,as I listened to the sound of your words:
9. “I am clean, without transgression;I am innocent, there is no guilt in me.
10. Yet he invents pretexts against meand counts me as an enemy.
11. He puts my feet in the stocks,watches all my paths!”
12. In this you are not just, let me tell you;for God is greater than mortals.
