what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You visit him? For You have made him lack a little from God, and have crowned him with glory and honor. You made him rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:

Who is like Jehovah our God, who dwells on high, who humbles Himself to behold the things in the heavens and in the earth!

O Jehovah, what is man that You take knowledge of him! Or the son of man, that You esteem him?

So says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and the One who formed him, Do you ask Me of things to come? Do you give command to Me about My sons, and about the work of My hands?

In this way desiring to declare more fully to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, God interposed by an oath, so that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us,




When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have established; what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man, that You visit him?

Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell if you have understanding!

What is man, that he should be clean? And what is he born of a woman that he should be righteous?

Behold, He puts no trust in His servants, and His angels He charges with folly! How much less in those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?

Can a man be useful to God, as he who is wise may be useful to himself? Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous, or gain to Him that you make your ways perfect? Will He reprove you because of your reverence, or enter into judgment with you? read more.
Is not your wickedness great, and your iniquity without measure?

How then can man be justified with God? Or how can one who is born of a woman be clean? Look even to the moon, and it shines not; yea, the stars are not pure in His sight; how much less man who is a maggot, and the son of man, who is a worm?

Do you think this to be right, you that say, I am more just than God? For you say, What will it benefit you? And, What good shall I have more than if I had sinned? I will answer your words, and your friends with you. read more.
Look to the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds; they are higher than you. If you sin, what do you do against Him? Or if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him? If you are righteous, what do you give Him? Or what does He receive from your hand? Your wickedness may hurt a man like yourself; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.

Have you commanded the morning from your days, and caused the dawn to know its place, that it might take hold of the ends of the earth; that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

O Jehovah, what is man that You take knowledge of him! Or the son of man, that You esteem him? Man is like vanity; his days are like a shadow that passes away.
