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