9. What do you know, that we don’t know? What do you understand, which is not in us?
10. With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much elder than your father.
11. Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
12. Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
13. That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
14. What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15. Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
16. how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
