Job 15:7-16

The Frailty of Human Wisdom

Job 15:7-16
7
"Were you the firstborn of the human race, brought forth before the hills?
8

9

12
Why does your heart carry you away, and why do your eyes flash angrily,
13

14
"What is a human being, that he could be innocent, someone born from a woman, that he could be righteous?
15

16
How much less one loathesome and corrupt, a human being, who drinks iniquity like water.
