Job 15:7-16

The Frailty of Human Wisdom

Job 15:7-16
7
Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?
8
Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?
9
What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, which is not in us?
10

11
Are the consolations of God too small for thee, Even the word that is gentle toward thee?
12
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash,
13
That against God thou turnest thy spirit, And lettest words go out of thy mouth?
14
What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15
Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones; Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight:
16
How much less one that is abominable and corrupt, A man that drinketh iniquity like water!
