2 “Do you think this to be your right,or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’
3 That you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you?What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’
4 I will answer you,and your companions with you.
5 Look to the heavens, and see.See the skies, which are higher than you.
6 If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him?If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give him?Or what does he receive from your hand?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are,and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
