How much less pure is one who is terrible and rotten and drinks up evil as if it were water!
“Listen to me, and I will tell you about it; I will tell you what I have seen.
“Evil may taste sweet in their mouths, and they may hide it under their tongues.
There is no other man like Job; he takes insults as if he were drinking water.
So he puts even more blame on people who live in clay houses, whose foundations are made of dust, who can be crushed like a moth.
So now I hate myself; I will change my heart and life. I will sit in the dust and ashes.”
But all have turned away. Together, everyone has become evil; none of them does anything good. Not a single person.
An evil witness makes fun of fairness, and wicked people love what is evil.
In the past we also were foolish. We did not obey, we were wrong, and we were slaves to many things our bodies wanted and enjoyed. We spent our lives doing evil and being jealous. People hated us, and we hated each other.
