If he shall desire to contend with him, he shall not answer him one from a thousand.
Saying to God, Thou wilt not condemn me; make known to me for what thou wilt contend with me.
Who is he will contend with me? for now shall I be silent and expire;
Wherefore didst thou contend against him? for he will not answer all his words.
For he will not yet set upon man to go to God in judgment
Shall he contending with the Almighty, instruct? he reproving God shall answer it
Once I sake, and I will not answer: and twice, and I will not add.
How much less shall I answer him, shall I choose my words with him?
If I shall be just, my mouth shall condemn me: I am blameless, and he will declare me perverse.
Who will understand errors? acquit me from hidden things.
For evils even not being numbered encompassed about me: mine inquities overtook me, and I was not able to see; they were numerous above the hairs of my head, and my heart forsook me.
Surely, O man, who art thou replying against God? Shall the formation say to him having formed, Why hest thou made me so
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
For if our heart condemn us, for God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
