Job 15:14-26

“How can anyone be pure? How can someone born to a woman be good? God places no trust in his holy ones, and even the heavens are not pure in his eyes. How much less pure is one who is terrible and rotten and drinks up evil as if it were water! “Listen to me, and I will tell you about it; I will tell you what I have seen. These are things wise men have told; their ancestors told them, and they have hidden nothing. (The land was given to their fathers only, and no foreigner lived among them.) The wicked suffer pain all their lives; the cruel suffer during all the years saved up for them. Terrible sounds fill their ears, and when things seem to be going well, robbers attack them. Evil people give up trying to escape from the darkness; it has been decided that they will die by the sword. They wander around and will become food for vultures. They know darkness will soon come. Worry and suffering terrify them; they overwhelm them, like a king ready to attack, because they shake their fists at God and try to get their own way against the Almighty. They stubbornly charge at God with thick, strong shields.
