job 4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

job 4:17 'Can mankind be just before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?

17. 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.

job 4:17 'Can mankind be just before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?
