Job 15:14

Read in context

Job 15:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,

13 as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?

14 What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?

15 If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,

16 how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
