how much less will he trust the one who is disgusting and corrupt, the one who drinks wickedness like water.
“I’ll tell you; listen to me! I’ll relate what I have seen.
“Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue….
What person is like Job, who drinks scorn like water,
How much more will he accuse those who live in clay houses that have their foundation in the dust. Those houses can be crushed quicker than a moth!
That is why I take back what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry.”
Everyone has fallen away. Together they have become rotten to the core. No one, not even one person, does good things.
A worthless witness mocks justice, and the mouths of wicked people swallow up trouble.
Indeed, we, too, were once stupid, disobedient, and misled. We were slaves to many kinds of lusts and pleasures. We were mean and jealous. We were hated, and we hated each other.
