How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?

How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?

"How long will you speak these things? Shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

"Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?

How much less shall I answer him, And choose my words to argue with him?

How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my disobedience and my sin.

how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!

"How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

"How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?

If you say, 'How we will persecute him!' because the root of the matter is found in me,

"How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out, that their calamity comes on them, that God distributes sorrows in his anger?

How often is it that they are as stubble before the wind, as chaff that the storm carries away?

So how can you comfort me with nonsense, because in your answers there remains only falsehood?"

"Isn't God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!"

"How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!

How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"

"I made a covenant with my eyes, how then should I look lustfully at a young woman?

For I don't know how to give flattering titles; or else my Maker would soon take me away.

How much less when you say you don't see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
