¹² Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

²⁵ Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?

⁵ Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

²⁰ Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

²¹ Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

⁶ O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

²⁰ For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

⁸ Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

⁹ Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

² Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

²² Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

²³ Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

⁴ I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
