Job 23:5

If he is pleased to contend with him, he can’t answer him one time in a thousand.

“Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand my error.

I will be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why haven’t I found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me?

They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don’t send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”

There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”

I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.

Why do you hide your face, and consider me your enemy?

what then will I do when God rises up? When he visits, what will I answer him?

Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

But deal with me, Yahweh the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

I listened and heard, but they didn’t say what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, “What have I done?” Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.

They all said to each other, “Come! Let’s cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

Yahweh’s voice calls to the city, and wisdom sees your name: “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.

“You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
