If he will argue with Him, he cannot answer Him one of a thousand.
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; make me know why You contend with me.
Who is he that will plead for me, for now, I would be quiet and expire.
Why do you fight against Him? For He does not give account for any of His matters.
For He does not still impose on man to go before God in judgment.
Shall a reprover contend with the Almighty? He who reproves God, let him answer it.
Once I have spoken; but I will not answer; yea, twice, but I will go no further.
How much less shall I answer Him, and choose my arguments with Him?
If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me; though I am perfect, He shall declare me perverse.
Who can understand his errors? Oh make me pure from secret faults;
For evils without number have hemmed me in; my sins have taken hold on me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails me.
No, but, O man, who are you who replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him who formed it, Why have you made me this way?
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
that if our heart accuses us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
