[Are] the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth?
What [is] man, that he should be clean? and [he which is] born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
How much more abominable and filthy [is] man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
I will shew thee, hear me; and that [which] I have seen I will declare;
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid [it]:
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
The wicked man travaileth with pain all [his] days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
