"They set their mouth against the heavens. . . . And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High?" "These things hast thou done," God says, "and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes," Psalms 73:9-11; 50:21.

»De løfter munden mod himlen. ..... De siger: Hvor skulle Gud vel vide det, skulle den Højeste kende dertil?»»Det gør du, og jeg skulle tie,« siger Gud,»og du skulle tænke, jeg er som du! Revse dig vil jeg og gøre dig det klart.« Sl. 73,9-11; 50,21.
