Job 15:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 What is man, that (A)he would be pure,
Or (B)he who is born of a woman, that he would be righteous?
15 Behold, He has no trust in His (C)holy ones,
And the (D)heavens are not pure in His sight;
16 How much less one who is (E)detestable and corrupt:
A person who (F)drinks [a]malice like water!
