4 aThe 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 aTruly I
am1 as your spokesman before God;
I also have been formed out of clay.
7 aSurely no fear of me will terrify you,
Nor will my hand be heavy on you.
8 “Surely you have spoken
1 in my hearing,
And I have heard the sound of
your words,
saying,
9 ‘I
a am pure, without transgression;
I
am innocent, and
there is no iniquity in me.
