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

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

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

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

because that by the deeds of the law, shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God. For by the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

And finally, when they shall have sinned against thee - for there is no man that sinneth not - and thou art angry with them and hast delivered them to their enemies, that they be carried away prisoners unto the land of their enemies, whether far or near;

Doest thou open thine eyes upon such one, and bringest me in thy judgment?

But Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram, was very sore displeased at Job, that he called himself just before God.

'I am clean without any fault, I am innocent, and there is no wickedness in me.

And why? Job hath said, 'I am righteous, but God doth me wrong.'

If thou, LORD wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O LORD who may abide it?
