“Behold this; we have investigated it, and it is true.
Hear and heed it, and know for yourself [for your own good].”

“Yes, I know it is true.
But how can a mortal man be right before God?

“But [only] with Him are [perfect] wisdom and might;
He [alone] has [true] counsel and understanding.

“And if it were true that I have erred,
My error would remain with me [and I would be conscious of it].

Then He declares to them [the true character of] their deeds
And their transgressions, that they have acted arrogantly [with presumption and notions of self-sufficiency].

“But if they do not hear and obey, they will die by the sword [of God’s destructive judgments]
And they will die [in ignorance] without [true] knowledge.
