Job 15:14-16

Eliphaz Accuses: Job Does Not Fear God

14 e What is man, f that he can be pure?
Or he who is g born of a woman, that he can be righteous?
15 Behold, God 1 h puts no trust in his i holy ones,
and the heavens are not pure in his sight;
16 j how much less one who is abominable and k corrupt,
a man who l drinks injustice like water!
