14. What is man, that he should be clean? and he which 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!
17. I will shew thee, hear thou me; and that which I have seen I will declare:
18. (Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it;
19. Unto whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them:)
20. The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
