Job 15:4-14

4 If you had your way, no one would fear God; no one would pray to him.

4 But you even undermine piety and hinder devotion to God.

5 Your wickedness is evident by what you say; you are trying to hide behind clever words.

5 Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty.

6 There is no need for me to condemn you; you are condemned by every word you speak.

6 Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; your own lips testify against you.

7 Do you think you were the first person born? Were you there when God made the mountains?

7 “Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?

8 Did you overhear the plans God made? Does human wisdom belong to you alone?

8 Do you listen in on God’s council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?

9 There is nothing you know that we don't know.

9 What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have?

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?
