Job 9:14

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words to reason with him?

See the chapter Copy

If thou canst answer me, Set thy words in order before me, stand up.

How much less man, that is a worm? And the son of man, which is a worm?

There the righteous might dispute with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

I would order my cause before him, And fill my mouth with arguments.

If he will contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.

How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Which are crushed before the moth?

But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, And we should come together in judgment.

Teach us what we shall say unto him; For we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
