Where were you when I put the earth on its base? Say, if you have knowledge.
What is man, that he may be clean? and how may the son of woman be upright?

Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you. If you have done wrong, is he any the worse for it? and if your sins are great in number, what is it to him? If you are upright, what do you give to him? or what does he take from your hand? Your evil-doing may have an effect on a man like yourself, or your righteousness on a son of man.

Have you, from your earliest days, given orders to the morning, or made the dawn conscious of its place; So that it might take a grip of the skirts of the earth, shaking all the evil-doers out of it?
