Job 9:3

You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding?”

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”

One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

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

But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.

For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

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

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

For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.

My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands?’

All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

“I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”

Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;

In all this, Job didn’t sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

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

Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, ‘What are you doing?’

Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

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

Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?

Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!

There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me! Let the accuser write my indictment!

Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?

‘Job speaks without knowledge. His words are without wisdom.’

Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness?’

Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

Sins overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our transgressions.

The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

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

Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

which my soul still seeks, but I have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all those.

You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would like to reason the cause with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?

The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?

I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against Yahweh.

“What do you mean, that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for God has power to make him stand.

constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

How much less will I answer him, And choose my words to argue with him?

Though I am righteous, my own mouth will condemn me. Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse.

I would declare to him the number of my steps. as a prince would I go near to him.

Why do you strive against him, because he doesn’t give account of any of his matters?

“If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him;

I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”

Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
