'Shall man be more just than God? Or shall man be purer than his maker?

"I know it is so of a truth: for how may a man, compared unto God, be justified?

But how may a man compared unto God be justified? Or, how can he be clean, that is born of a woman?

That be far from thee, that thou shouldest do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, and that the righteous should be as the wicked: that be far from thee. Should not the Judge of all the world do according to right?"

Doth God pervert the thing that is lawful? Or, doth the Almighty destroy the thing that is right?

Though I washed my self with snowy water, and made mine hands never so clean,

Who can make it clean, that cometh from an unclean thing? Nobody.

What is man, that he should be clean? What hath he, which is born of a woman, whereby he might be known to be righteous?

"Thinkest thou it right, that thou saidst, 'I am righteous before God?'

For such one never sayeth, 'Where is God that made me? And that shineth upon us, that we might praise him in the night?

Wilt thou disannul my judgment? Or wilt thou condemn me, that thou thyself mayest be made righteous?

And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

For there is not one just upon earth, that doth good, and sinneth not.

O LORD, thou art more righteous than that I should dispute with thee: Nevertheless, let me talk with thee in things reasonable. How happeneth it, that the way of the ungodly is so prosperous? And that it goeth so well with them, which without any shame offend and live in wickedness?

Among all things living, man hath the most deceitful and unsearchable heart. Who shall then know it?

And he said, "That defileth a man which cometh out of a man.

But thou, after thine hard heart that cannot repent, heapest thee together the treasure of wrath against the day of vengeance: when shall be opened the righteous judgment of God,

God forbid. Let God be true, and all men liars, as it is written, "That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings and shouldest overcome when thou art judged."

But O man what art thou, which disputest with God? Shall the work say to the workman, "Why hast thou made me on this fashion?"

O the deepness of the abundant wisdom and knowledge of God: how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out.

And the four beasts had, each one of them, six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within. And they had no rest day neither night saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."
