“ But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than any mortal.

“ But I’m telling you that you aren’t right when you talk like that. After all, God is greater than any human being.

“ Behold, in this you are not right. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.

“ But you are wrong, and I will show you why. For God is greater than any human being.

But I tell you that you are wrong in this matter, since God is greater than man.

But I tell you that you are wrong in this matter, since God is greater than man.

He is wise in heart and mighty in strength– who has resisted him and remained safe?

“ Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, from the Almighty to do evil.For he repays a person for his work, and according to the conduct of a person, he causes the consequences to find him.Indeed, in truth, God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice.

“ Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let the person who accuses God give him an answer!”

“ Do you think this to be just: when you say,‘ My right before God.’

“ I, the LORD, say:‘ O nation of Israel, can I not deal with you as this potter deals with the clay? In my hands, you, O nation of Israel, are just like the clay in this potter’s hand.’

Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people, he is mighty, and firm in his intent.

You will say to me then,“ Why does he still find fault? For who has ever resisted his will?”But who indeed are you– a mere human being– to talk back to God? Does what is molded say to the molder,“ Why have you made me like this?”Has the potter no right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special use and another for ordinary use?

Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! How faint is the whisper we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?”

Would you indeed annul my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?Do you have an arm as powerful as God’s, and can you thunder with a voice like his?

I will reply to you, and to your friends with you.

In all this Job did not sin, nor did he charge God with moral impropriety.

Indeed, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?Who has prescribed his ways for him? Or said to him,‘ You have done what is wicked’?

I too will answer my part, I too will explain what I know.

For there is not one truly righteous person on the earth who continually does good and never sins.

Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely righteous One,who says to a king,‘ Worthless man’ and to nobles,‘ Wicked men,’who shows no partiality to princes, and does not take note of the rich more than the poor, because all of them are the work of his hands?

For he does not still consider a person, that he should come before God in judgment.

“ Yet you say,‘ The Lord’s conduct is unjust!’ Hear, O house of Israel: Is my conduct unjust? Is it not your conduct that is unjust?
