[3]For let none think that there is a respite for robbers: and upon whom will there not come a snare from him? [4]For how shall a mortal be just before the Lord? or who that is born of a woman shall purify himself? [5]If he gives an order to the moon, then it shines not; and the stars are not pure before him. [6]But alas! man is corruption, and the son of man a worm.
