Bible verse
What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
Job 15:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 15.
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?
17 Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,
18 what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,
