33 So now Iyyov, please hear my speech,

≈and listen to all my words.

2 Listen, I’ve opened my mouth.

≈My tongue is ready to speak.

3 My words come from an honest heart,

≈and my lips utter what I truly believe.

4 The spirit of God created me,

≈and the provider gave me life.

5 If you can, answer me.

≈Get things in order then take a stand.

6 Listen, my words are just like yours in God’s sight.

≈I too was broken off from the clay.

7 Listen, fear of me shouldn’t terrify you.

≈I won’t be putting heavy pressure on you.
