Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
The utterance belongs to God's address to Job in Job 38–40, where appeal is made to His account of creation and His authority. It confronts Job with the implication that to assert the rightness of his own judgment he must annul God's judgment and pronounce God guilty. The same challenge applies beyond Job to anyone who would set aside divine judgment and condemn God in order to establish personal righteousness.
It is one of the questions by which God exposes human limits. Such questions are not provided to enable people to resolve every mystery. Their purpose is to teach that finite wisdom cannot fully comprehend all that God does.
