Job 15:17
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?
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,
19 to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
