Job 40:4: Behold, I am vile
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Where is the just, unblemish'd man,
Who held his righteousness so fast?
Unable longer to maintain
The' unequal fight, he yields at last!
Jehovah to the creature shown
Confounds his boast and virtuous pride.
And now he knows that God alone
Is just, and vile are all beside.
