But I could not discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence;
Then I heard a voice saying:
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before a moth?
They die, even without wisdom.’

Job 4:17
More just - Pretend more strictly to observe the laws of justice? Shall (enosh) mortal, miserable man (so the word signifies) be thus insolent? Nay, shall geber, the strongest and most eminent man, stand in competition with God? Those that find fault with the directions of the Divine law, the dispensations of the Divine grace, or the disposal of the Divine providence, do make themselves more just and pure than God: who being their maker, is their Lord and owner: and the author of all the justice and purity that is in man.
| << Job 4:16 | Job 4:18 >> |
