Teach

Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?
Let him who argues with God give an answer.

Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord,
or who gave Him His counsel?

“Woe to the one who argues with his Maker—
one clay pot among many.
Does clay say to the one forming it,
‘What are you making?’
Or does your work say,
‘He has no hands’?

For who has known the mind of the Lord?

Or who has been His counselor?

For

who has known the Lord’s mind,
that he may instruct Him?

But we have the mind of Christ.

He judgeth

Could one who hates justice govern the world?
Will you condemn the mighty Righteous One,

Who is like Yahweh our God—
the One enthroned on high,

If you see oppression of the poor and perversion of justice and righteousness in the province, don’t be astonished at the situation, because one official protects another official, and higher officials protect them.

God is enthroned above the circle of the earth;
its inhabitants are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like thin cloth
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

Don’t you know that we will judge angels—not to mention ordinary matters?

For if God didn’t spare the angels who sinned but threw them down into Tartarus

and delivered them to be kept in chains of darkness until judgment;

and He has kept, with eternal chains in darkness for the judgment of the great day, the angels who did not keep their own position but deserted their proper dwelling.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
