The verses around it, from Job 15.
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.

25 For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
