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.
A dreadful sound [is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
