## How then can man ... How can he who is born ... ##
|

These two questions are used together to emphasize the impossibility of a man being good enough for God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

|
|
## How then can man be righteous with God? ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The implicit reaction is that he cannot. AT: "A man can never be righteous for God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

|
## How can he who is born ... acceptable to him? ##

||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
## clean, acceptable to him ##

## the moon has no brightness to him ##
|
||
|

|
AT: "the moon is not bright enough for God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
|
||
|

## the stars are not pure in his sight ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AT: "he does think even the stars are perfect"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How much less man ... a son of man ... ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
