Job 15:16

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,

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

¹⁷ Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,

¹⁸ what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
