Job 15:10-20

10 We learned our wisdom from gray-haired people - those born before your father.

10 The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men even older than your father.

11 God offers you comfort; why still reject it? We have spoken for him with calm, even words.

11 Are God’s consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you?

12 But you are excited and glare at us in anger.

12 Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,

13 You are angry with God and denounce him.

13 so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth?

14 Can any human being be really pure? Can anyone be right with God?

14 “What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous?

15 Why, God does not trust even his angels; even they are not pure in his sight.

15 If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,

16 And we drink evil as if it were water; yes, we are corrupt; we are worthless.

16 how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt, who drink up evil like water!

17 Now listen, Job, to what I know.

17 “Listen to me and I will explain to you; let me tell you what I have seen,

18 Those who are wise have taught me truths which they learned from their ancestors, and they kept no secrets hidden.

18 what the wise have declared, hiding nothing received from their ancestors

19 Their land was free from foreigners; there was no one to lead them away from God.

19 (to whom alone the land was given when no foreigners moved among them):

20 The wicked who oppress others will be in torment as long as they live.

20 All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.
