“Can a person be more righteous than God,
or a man more pure than his Maker?”

For I do not know how to give such titles;
otherwise, my Maker would remove me in an instant.

But no one asks, “Where is God my Maker,
who provides us with songs in the night,

I will get my knowledge from a distant place
and ascribe justice to my Maker.

He is the foremost of God’s works;
only his Maker can draw the sword against him.
