14 Can any human being be really pure?Can anyone be right with God?
15 Why, God does not trust even his angels;even they are not pure in his sight.
16 And we drink evil as if it were water;yes, we are corrupt; we are worthless.
17 Now listen, Job, to what I know.
18 Those who are wise have taught me truthswhich they learned from their ancestors,and they kept no secrets hidden.
19 Their land was free from foreigners;there was no one to lead them away from God.
20 The wicked who oppress otherswill be in torment as long as they live.
