Rh :The spirit within me constraineth me.
 * Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent;
 * It is ready to burst like new bottles.
 * I will speak, that I may be refreshed:
 * I will open my lips and answer.
 * Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person,
 * Neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
 * For I know not to give flattering titles;
 * In so doing my maker would soon take me away.


 * Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches.
 * And hearken to all my words.
 * Behold, now I have opened my mouth,
 * My tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
 * My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart:
 * And my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
 * The Spirit of God hath made me,
 * And the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
 * If thou canst answer me,
 * Set thy words in order before me, stand up.
 * Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead:
 * I also am formed out of the clay.
 * Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid,
 * Neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
 * Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing,
 * And I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
 * I am clean without transgression,
 * I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
