Then Job answered:

2 “Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God?

3 If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
