Bible verse
Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
Job 15:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 15.
8 Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?
9 What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
10 Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side—men much older than your father.
11 Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you?
12 Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
13 as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?
14 What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
15 If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,
16 how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
