彼非人與我等、俾我應答、與同赴審、

我凡民也、主豈與我等、奚敢與之辨論。

天主非凡人、不與我等、我何可答之、何可與之同質審、

“ He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him, that we might confront each other in court.

“ God isn’t a mere human being like me. I can’t answer him. We can’t take each other to court.

For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together.

“ God is not a mortal like me, so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial.

For he is not a man like me, that I can answer him, that we can take each other to court.

For He is not a man, as I am, that I may answer Him— That we may go to court together!

“ For He is not a man, as I am, That I may answer Him, And that we should go to court together.

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.

For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.

For[ he is] not a man, as I[ am, that] I should answer him,[ and] we should come together in judgment.

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.

Whatever has happened was foreordained, and what happens to a person was also foreknown. It is useless for him to argue with God about his fate because God is more powerful than he is.

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?”

Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you.

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a human being, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it happen?

O that I knew where I might find him, that I could come to his place of residence!I would lay out my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.I would know with what words he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.Would he contend with me with great power? No, he would only pay attention to me.There an upright person could present his case before him, and I would be delivered forever from my judge.

“ A lion coming up from the thick undergrowth along the Jordan scatters the sheep in the pastureland around it. So too I will chase the Edomites off their land. Then I will appoint over it whomever I choose. For there is no one like me, and there is no one who can call me to account. There is no ruler who can stand up against me.

Now in this, you are not right– I answer you, for God is greater than a human being.

See now, I have prepared my case; I know that I am right.Who will contend with me? If anyone can, I will be silent and die.Only in two things spare me, O God, and then I will not hide from your face:Remove your hand far from me and stop making me afraid with your terror.Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and you respond to me.How many are my iniquities and sins? Show me my transgression and my sin.

that if our conscience condemns us, that God is greater than our conscience and knows all things.

One who argues with his creator is in grave danger, one who is like a mere shard among the other shards on the ground! The clay should not say to the potter,“ What in the world are you doing? Your work lacks skill!”

Gaze at the heavens and see; consider the clouds, which are higher than you!If you sin, how does it affect God? If your transgressions are many, what does it do to him?If you are righteous, what do you give to God, or what does he receive from your hand?

But the LORD said to Samuel,“ Don’t be impressed by his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way men do. People look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
