Job 4:17-19
English Standard Version
17 (A)‘Can mortal man be in the right before[a] God?
Can a man be pure before his Maker?
18 Even in his servants (B)he puts no trust,
and his angels he charges with error;
19 how much more those who dwell in houses of (C)clay,
whose foundation is in (D)the dust,
who are crushed like[b] (E)the moth.
Job 4:17-19
New International Version
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?(A)
Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?(B)
18 If God places no trust in his servants,(C)
if he charges his angels with error,(D)
19 how much more those who live in houses of clay,(E)
whose foundations(F) are in the dust,(G)
who are crushed(H) more readily than a moth!(I)
Job 9:2

2 “Truly I know that it is so:
But how can a man be (A)in the right before God?
Job 9:2

But how can mere mortals prove their innocence before God?(A)
Job 15:14-16
English Standard Version
14 (A)What is man, (B)that he can be pure?
Or he who is (C)born of a woman, that he can be righteous?
15 Behold, God[a] (D)puts no trust in his (E)holy ones,
and the heavens are not pure in his sight;
16 (F)how much less one who is abominable and (G)corrupt,
a man who (H)drinks injustice like water!
