I am preaching this passage of scripture tomorrow. It is one of those passages that is easily misunderstood. Unfortunately it applies to everyone who shares the human condition. None of us can open our mouth in defense to God. Even Job recognized it was better to remain mute than to speak:

Quote:
Job 40:4-5 4 "Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to Thee? I lay my hand on my mouth. 5 "Once I have spoken, and I will not answer; Even twice, and I will add no more."
