Hence observe,
Man is not able to contend with God in judgement.
Who is like me, and who will appoint me the time (or (nearer the letter) who will convent me in judgement?) Who is that shepherd that will stand before me? Isa. 49.19. Man must come before God in judgement, We must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5.10.) None shall escape his tribunal. But man cannot stand before God in judgement. The wicked cannot stand at all before him in judgement, because they stand upon their own bottom. The righteous dare not stand before him in judgement upon their own bottom; if they should, themselves and their cause would quickly fall together.
