² Don't enter into judgment with your servant, For in your sight no man living is righteous.

³ If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

¹⁴ What is man, that he should be clean? He who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

¹⁵ Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones; Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight:

¹⁶ How much less one who is abominable and corrupt, A man who drinks iniquity like water!

² "Truly I know that it is so, But how can man be just with God?

¹⁷ 'Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

¹⁸ Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

²⁰ Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

³ Do you open your eyes on such a one, And bring me into judgment with you?

⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

¹¹ Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.
