How can mere mortals prove their innocence before God?

Job 9:1-24
Indeed, I know that this is true. But how can mere mortals prove their innocence before God?
Though they wished to dispute with him, they could not answer him one time out of a thousand. His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?
He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be countedWhen he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him. If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?
Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn meif I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty
“Although I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life. It is all the same; that is why I say, He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’ 
When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?
Job believes, as Bildad does, in the justice of God. But his own case will no square with his belief. God has condemned an innocent man. How can anyone call him to account? Good, bad - it is all one.
Why?
Yes, no one can prove their innocence before God.
People are could not speak with the Lord. God's wisdom beyond us and God don't have let us know what He is doing.
Our mouth is easy to have sinned against the Lord. So even I was innocent I could not say so.
It is the same as all men, our destination is dead.
Even the suffering came, it is the Lord allowed.
The Lord is sovereign Lord, who can dispute with God? No one can do it. But all of these have God's love and his way for all who follow the word of the Lord.

人不敢為自己申冤。
約伯被迫認罪,同時義人惡人都受苦,神善惡不分,他蒙受災禍是無辜,神既然定我為有罪,我怎能訴說呢!只希望神將刑杖拿開。
兩人以人的常例來論斷約伯這個特例。用常例來判斷特例,就會冤枉人。
我們容易認為受苦耀的人是犯罪。身體健康、家道豐富、兒女平安,就是神的祝福嗎?當神把祝福給我們時,我們有時候如狗一樣不認識珍寶。求神給我們有屬天的眼光來看我們所遭遇的一切事情。有時候我們不明白,相信神為我們所預備的是最好的路。

How?\
Always trust in the Lord and God's love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord.
