Job 15:7-16 - You Are Not The Only Wise Person, Job

⁷
“Were you the first man to be born [the original wise man],
Or were you created before the hills?
⁸
“Do you hear the secret counsel of God,
And do you limit [the possession of] wisdom to yourself?
⁹
“What do you know that we do not know?
What do you understand that is not equally clear to us?
¹⁰
“Among us are both the gray-haired and the aged,
Older than your father.
¹¹
“Are the consolations of God [as we have interpreted them to you] too trivial for you,
[Or] were we too gentle toward you [in our first speech] to be effective?
¹²
“Why does your heart carry you away [allowing you to be controlled by emotion]?
And why do your eyes flash [in anger or contempt],
¹³
That you should turn your spirit against God
And let such words [as you have spoken] go out of your mouth?

¹⁴
“What is man, that he should be pure and clean,
Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous and just?
¹⁵
“Behold, God puts no trust in His holy ones (angels);
Indeed, the heavens are not pure in His sight—
¹⁶
How much less [pure and clean is] the one who is repulsive and corrupt,
Man, who drinks unrighteousness and injustice like water!
