Job 33:2
1 “But now, O Job, hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
Behold, I will open my mouth; my address is on the tip of my tongue.
3 My words are from an upright heart, and my lips speak sincerely what I know.
4 The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
