Job 4:17

I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

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

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

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

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

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

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?

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

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

Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
