17Shall mortal man be more just than +God? Shall a man be purer than his Maker?


In Context

14 Fear came on me, and trembling, and made all my bones to shake;

15 And a spirit passed before my face the hair of my flesh stood up —

16 It stood still; I could not discern the appearance thereof: a form was before mine eyes; I heard a slight murmur and a voice:

17 Shall mortal man be more just than +God? Shall a man be purer than his Maker?

18 Lo, he trusteth not his servants, and his angels he chargeth with folly:

19 How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as the moth!
