4. The Spirit of God has made me,And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5. If you can answer me,Set your words in order before me;Take your stand.
6. Truly I am as your spokesman before God;I also have been formed out of clay.
7. Surely no fear of me will terrify you,Nor will my hand be heavy on you.
8. “Surely you have spoken in my hearing,And I have heard the sound of your words, saying,
9. ‘I am pure, without transgression;I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.
10. Yet He finds occasions against me,He counts me as His enemy;
11. He puts my feet in the stocks,He watches all my paths.’
