How then can I answer him, choosing my words with him?
How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words to reason with him?
How much less shall I answer Him, choosing out my words to reason with Him
Yet I myself will answer him; I’ll choose my words in a contest with him.
what am I then, that I should answer him and exchange words with him?
What am I then, that I should answer him, and have words with him?
“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
I would lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
There an upright man could reason with him, and I should be acquitted for ever by my judge.
how much less man, who is a maggot, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
Answer me, if you can; set your words in order before me; take your stand.
Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth.
If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times.
For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together.
