Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 17 is found in chapter 4 of Job. Eliphaz recounts a nighttime experience in which a presence communicates the frailty of human beings before God. The argument emphasizes that no mortal can consider himself absolutely righteous before the Creator. The statement contains a theological truth about human limitation, but within the dialogue it will be used to interpret Job’s specific situation inadequately.
