Job 4:17
Douay-Rheims
Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
mortal man . . . a man--Two Hebrew words for "man" are used; the first implying his feebleness; the second his strength. Whether feeble or strong, man is not righteous before God. more just than God . . . more pure than his maker--But this would be self-evident without an oracle.
