Man » Insignificance of
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou have ordained, what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?
Where were thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou have understanding.
What is man, that he should be clean? And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he puts no trust in his servants, and he charges his [heavenly] agents with folly. How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou are righteous? Or is it gain [to him] that thou make thy ways perfect? Is it for thy fear [of him] that he reproves thee, that he enters with thee into judgment? read more.

Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean who is born of a woman? Behold, even the moon has no brightness. And the stars are not pure in his sight. How much less man, who is a worm! And the son of man, who is a worm!
What [is] this thou think in judgment? Who are thou that thou said, I am righteousness before LORD? That thou said, What advantage will it be to thee? [And], What profit shall I have more than if I had sinned? I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. read more.
Look to the heavens, and see. And behold the skies, which are higher than thou. If thou have sinned, what do thou effect against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what do thou to him? If thou be righteous, what do thou give him? Or what does he receive of thy hand? Thy wickedness [is] a man as thou are, and thy righteousness [is] a son of man.

Have thou commanded the morning since thy days [began], [and] caused the dayspring to know its place that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
LORD, what is man, that thou take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou make account of him? Man is like vanity. His days are as a shadow that passes away.
