My words [shall be of] the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
If thou canst answer me, set [thy words] in order before me, stand up.
Behold, I [am] according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words, [saying],
I am clean without transgression, I [am] innocent; neither [is there] iniquity in me.
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
Behold, [in] this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
