How then can I answer Him or choose my words with Him?
Answer me, if you can; array yourselves before me; take your stand!
how much less man who is but a maggot— a son of man who is a worm!”
There the upright can reason with Him, and there I would forever be delivered from my Judge.
I would lay out my case before Him and fill my mouth with arguments.
If anyone wished to contend with Him, he could not answer Him once in a thousand.
how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?
So will God really dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You! How much less this House that I have built!
For He is not a human being, like I am, that I could answer Him, that we could go to court together.
Teach us what to say to Him; we cannot prepare a case because of the darkness.
