Job 33:1-11

“Now, Job, listen to my words. Pay attention to everything I say. I open my mouth and am ready to speak. My words come from an honest heart, and I am sincere in saying what I know. The Spirit of God created me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life. Answer me if you can; get yourself ready and stand before me. I am just like you before God; I too am made out of clay. Don’t be afraid of me; I will not be hard on you. “But I heard what you have said; I heard every word. You said, ‘I am pure and without sin; I am innocent and free from guilt. But God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy. He locks my feet in chains and closely watches everywhere I go.’
