God Always Answers, One Way or Another

5-7 “And if you think you can prove me wrong, do it.
    Lay out your arguments. Stand up for yourself!
Look, I’m human—no better than you;
    we’re both made of the same kind of mud.
So let’s work this through together;
    don’t let my aggressiveness overwhelm you.

8-11 “Here’s what you said.
    I heard you say it with my own ears.
You said, ‘I’m pure—I’ve done nothing wrong.
    Believe me, I’m clean—my conscience is clear.
But God keeps picking on me;
    he treats me like I’m his enemy.
He’s thrown me in jail;
    he keeps me under constant surveillance.’
