Job 15:14-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
14What is man, that he would be pure, Or he who is born of a woman, that he would be righteous? 15Behold, He has no trust in His holy ones, And the heavens are not pure in His sight; 16How much less one who is detestable and corrupt: A person who drinks malice like water! 17'I will tell you, listen to me; And what I have seen I will also declare; 18What wise people have told, And have not concealed from their fathers, 19To whom alone the land was given, And no stranger passed among them. 20The wicked person writhes in pain all his days, And the years reserved for the ruthless are numbered.King James Version
Chapter 15
14What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 15Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. 16How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
17I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

Chapter 15
14What is a mere human, that he should be pure, or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 15If God puts no trust in his holy ones and the heavens are not pure in his sight,
16how much less one who is revolting and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
17Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,
18what the wise have declared and not concealed, that came from their ancestors,
19to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
20A wicked person writhes in pain all his days, throughout the number of years reserved for the ruthless.
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
14Can any mortal be pure? Can anyone born of a woman be just? 15Look, God does not even trust the angels. Even the heavens are not absolutely pure in his sight. 16How much less pure is a corrupt and sinful person with a thirst for wickedness!English Standard Version
Chapter 15
14What is man, that he can be pure? Or he who is born of a woman, that he can be righteous? 15Behold, God puts no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight; 16how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks injustice like water! 17“I will show you; hear me, and what I have seen I will declare 18(what wise men have told, without hiding it from their fathers, 19to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them). 20The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.New International Version
Chapter 15
14What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous? 15If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,
16how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt, who drink up evil like water!
17Listen to me and I will explain to you; let me tell you what I have seen,
18what the wise have declared, hiding nothing received from their ancestors
19(to whom alone the land was given when no foreigners moved among them):
20All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.
