Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
