"Can anyone teachGodknowledge,In that He judgesthose on high?
"Behold,He putsnotrustin His holyones,And the heavensare not purein His sight;

Who teachesus morethanthe beastsof the earthAnd makesus wiserthanthe birdsof the heavens?'
"Behold,Godis exaltedin His power;Whois a teacherlikeHim?
"Whohas appointedHim His way,And whohas said,You have donewrong'?
"Nowgirdup your loinslike a man,And I will askyou, and you instructMe!
He putsnotrustevenin His servants;And against His angelsHe chargeserror.
"Will the faultfindercontendwith the Almighty?Let him who reprovesGodanswerit."
GodtakesHis standin His own congregation;He judgesin the midstof the rulers.

"Woeto [the one] who quarrelswith his Maker--An earthenwarevesselamongthe vesselsof earth!Will the claysayto the potter,'Whatare you doing?'Or the thingyou are making[say], 'He hasnohands'?
"But whohas stoodin the councilof the LORD,That he should seeand hearHis word?Whohas givenheedto His wordand listened?

For WHOHAS KNOWNTHE MINDOF THE LORD,THAT HE WILL INSTRUCTHIM? But we havethe mindof Christ.
Do you not knowthat we will judgeangels?How much morematters of this life?
For ifGoddid not spareangelswhen they sinned,but cast them into helland committedthem to pitsof darkness,reservedfor judgment;
And angelswho did not keeptheir owndomain,but abandonedtheir properabode,He has keptin eternalbondsunderdarknessfor the judgmentof the greatday,
