Job 9:2 But how can a man be in the right before God? Job 14:4 Job’s conclusion: Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one! Job 15:14 What is man, that he should be pure, Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? Job 25:4 How then can a man be just with God? Or how can he be clean who is born of woman?
