Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.

Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

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