13 as you turn your anger against Godand allow such words to leave 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 and the heavens are not pure in His sight,
16 how much less one who is revolting 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 menand was not suppressed by their ancestors,
19 the land was given to them alonewhen no foreigner passed among them.
