1 Then Job responded by saying: 2 I beseech you to hear my words and to do penance. 3 Permit me, and I will speak, and afterwards, if you see fit, you can laugh at my words. 4 Is my dispute against man, so that I would have no reason to be discouraged? 5 Listen […]

1 Then Eliphaz the Themanite responded by saying: 2 Can man be compared with God, even if he were perfect in knowledge? 3 What advantage is it to God, if you were just? Or what do you provide for him, if your way should be immaculate? 4 Will he reprove you and take you to […]
