Job 32:2: He justified himself rather than God

I The guardian of an heart sincere.
Firm in his own defence he stood.
More careful, more concern'd to clear
Himself, than vindicate his God,
Anxious to save his own from blame,
Regardless of Jehovah's name.

Instructed by his error, Lord,
Thee, only Thee we justify.
Thy will be done, Thy name adored;
Tried, to the utmost tried, we cry,
False, and unjust let all men be.
Justice and truth are still in Thee.

The men whom God pronounces just.
Just may they not themselves esteem?
No; but as sinners still they must
All righteousness ascribe to Him,
And humbled into nothing own
Holy and good is God alone.

Murmuring that God should hide His face
For no offence or fault of mine,
I honour my own righteousness
Above the righteousness Divine,
And tacitly of God complain
As author of my causeless pain.

But O! I now with shame confess.
If chasten'd long as life shall last,
Thou dost not punish to excess
My pardouW sins and follies Jass (i:
Justice doth still to God belong;
The King of kings can do no wrong.
