The writer uses parallelism in this verse to emphasize a question about the purity of man before God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

# Can a mortal man be more righteous than God?
|
|
|

Eliphaz poses this question so that Job will consider, "Do I regard myself as more righteous than God?" or "Am I justified before God?" Alternate translation: "A mortal man cannot be more righteous than God." or "A mortal man cannot be righteous before God." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
|

This question has the same purpose as the previous question. Alternate translation: "A man cannot be more pure than his Maker." or "A man cannot be pure before his Maker." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
