³² But if a man like myself -- I answer him, We come together into judgment.

²⁰ nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form `it', Why me didst thou make thus?

¹⁰ What `is' that which hath been? already is its name called, and it is known that it `is' man, and he is not able to contend with him who is stronger than he.

² And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

¹⁹ God `is' not a man -- and lieth, And a son of man -- and repenteth! Hath He said -- and doth He not do `it'? And spoken -- and doth He not confirm it?

²⁰ because if our heart may condemn -- because greater is God than our heart, and He doth know all things.

¹⁹ Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me? And who `is' this shepherd who standeth before Me?

⁹ Wo `to' him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer, `What dost thou?' And thy work, `He hath no hands?'

⁵ Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.

⁶ If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?

⁷ If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?

¹² Lo, `in' this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.

³ O that I had known -- and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,

⁴ I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill `with' arguments.

⁵ I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.

⁶ In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth `it' in me.

⁷ There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.

¹⁸ Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.

¹⁹ Who `is' he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.

²⁰ Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.

²¹ Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me.

²² And call Thou, and I -- I answer, Or -- I speak, and answer Thou me.

²³ How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.

⁷ And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Look not unto his appearance, and unto the height of his stature, for I have rejected him; for `it is' not as man seeth -- for man looketh at the eyes, and Jehovah looketh at the heart.'
