Job 4:17

A Secret Was Told To Me

¹⁶ Something stood there. I could not tell what it was. A vague image was in front of my eyes. I heard a soft voice say: ¹⁷ ‘Can mankind be just before God?
Can a man be pure before his Maker?
¹⁸ You see God does not trust his own servants. He accuses his angels of making mistakes.

Before God

Be Clean
