³ And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

² And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

³ LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

¹⁷ What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

¹⁸ And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

¹⁹ If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

²⁰ If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

³² For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.

²⁵ Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

²⁷ Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.

¹⁹ Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
