Job 33:1-11 NIV

[1] “But now, Job, listen to my words; pay attention to everything I say. [2] I am about to open my mouth; my words are on the tip of my tongue. [3] My words come from an upright heart; my lips sincerely speak what I know. [4] The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. [5] Answer me then, if you can; stand up and argue your case before me. [6] I am the same as you in God’s sight; I too am a piece of clay. [7] No fear of me should alarm you, nor should my hand be heavy on you. [8] “But you have said in my hearing—I heard the very words— [9] ‘I am pure, I have done no wrong; I am clean and free from sin. [10] Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy. [11] He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.’
