What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.

Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
