Verse Takeaways

A Divine Challenge
Most commentators see this verse as a rhetorical or ironic challenge from God. After offering free forgiveness (v. 25), God uses legal language to say, "If you think you can justify yourself by your own merits, go ahead and make your case." Scholars like John Calvin note this is designed to break human pride and show the utter futility of self-justification, thereby leading people to humbly accept God's grace.
