  • Luke 18:9-14
    Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

    What shall I answer You?
    I lay my hand over my mouth. Once I have spoken, but I will not answer;
    Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.” Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: “Now prepare yourself like a man;
    I will question you, and you shall answer Me: “ Would you indeed annul My judgment?
    Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?

    So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he justified himself rather than God. Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
     
  • Job 33:8-14
    “Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
    And I have heard the sound of your words, saying, ‘I am pure, without transgression;
    I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me. Yet He finds occasions against me,
    He counts me as His enemy; He puts my feet in the stocks,
    He watches all my paths.’ “Look, in this you are not righteous.
    I will answer you,
    For God is greater than man. Why do you contend with Him?
    For He does not give an accounting of any of His words. For God may speak in one way, or in another,
    Yet man does not perceive it.

  • James 1:13-14
    Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
