“Truly I know it is so. But how is man right with Elohim?
“When they sin against You – for there is no one who does not sin – and You become enraged with them and give them to the enemy, and they take them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near;
“O יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕ
So how could man be righteous before Ě
See, even the moon does not shine, and the stars have not been flawless in His eyes,
And the wrath of Elihu, son of Baraḵ
‘I am clear, without transgression; I am innocent, and I have no crookedness.
For Iyoḇ
‘Is mortal man more righteous than Eloah? Is man more clean than his Maker?
And Iyoḇ
O Yah, if You should watch crookednesses, O יהוה, who would stand?
And do not enter into right-ruling with Your servant, For before You no one living is in the right.
Therefore by works of Torah no flesh shall be declared right before Him, for by the Torah is the knowledge of sin.
