How then can I answer him or choose my arguments against him?
Refute me if you can. Prepare your case against me; take your stand.
how much less a human, who is a maggot, a son of man, who is a worm!
Then an upright man could reason with him, and I would escape from my Judge , for ever.
I would plead my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.
If one wanted to take him to court, he could not answer God once in a thousand times.
how much more those who dwell in clay houses, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth!
But will God indeed live on earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain you, much less this temple I have built.
For he is not a man like me, that I can answer him, that we can take each other to court.
Teach us what we should say to him; we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.
