Job 33:7
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.
Surely no fear of me should terrify you; nor will my hand be heavy upon you.
8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard these very words:
9 ‘I am pure, without transgression; I am clean, with no iniquity in me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
