Job 15:11
9 What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
10 Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side— men much older than your father.
Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you?
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?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
