Job 33:12

Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?

Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?

I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 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? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
