how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
Job 15:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 15.
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,
19 to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
20 A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
