Job 33:1-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Elihu Confronts Job
33 But now, Job, pay attention to my speech,
and listen to all my words.
2 I am going to open my mouth;
my tongue will form words on my palate.
3 My words come from my upright(A) heart,
and my lips speak with sincerity what they know.
4 The Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty(B) gives me life.(C)
5 Refute me if you can.
Prepare(D) your case against me; take your stand.(E)
6 I am just like you before God;
I was also pinched off from a piece of clay.(F)
7 Fear(G) of me should not terrify you;
the pressure I exert[a] against you will be light.
8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard these very[b] words:
9 “I am pure, without transgression;
I am clean and have no guilt.(H)
10 But He finds reasons to oppose me;
He regards me as His enemy.(I)
11 He puts my feet in the stocks;
He stands watch(J) over all my paths.”
12 But I tell you that you are wrong in this matter,
since God is greater than man.(K)
