Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
