Job 33:4
2 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.
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
5 Refute me if you can; prepare your case and confront me.
6 I am just like you before God; I was also formed from clay.
