Job33:12
12. Behold, in this thou art not just : I will answer thee, That God is greater than man.
I do not accuse thee of hypocrisie, nor rip up the former errours of thy life; but in this thou art unjust and much to blame, that thou boastest so much of thine own integrity, and chargest God with rigorous dealing, and callest him to an account before thy Tribunal, and offerest to dispute the matter with him.
Not only in Power and Majesty, which thou acknowledgest, but also in Justice, and Wisdom, and goodness, and therefore thou doest very foolishly, and presumptuously, and wickedly in contending with him, and censuring his Judgments: thou forgettest thy distance from him, and castest off that awe and reverence which thou shouldest constantly maintain towards thy Soveraign Lord.
