New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 15
12 What has taken away your reason? What has weakened your vision,
13 that you turn against God and say all these evil things?
14 Can any mortal be pure? Can anyone born of a woman be just?
15 Look, God does not even trust the angels. Even the heavens are not absolutely pure in his sight.
16 How much less pure is a corrupt and sinful person with a thirst for wickedness!
17 “If you will listen, I will show you. I will answer you from my own experience.
18 And it is confirmed by the reports of wise men who have heard the same thing from their fathers—
19 from those to whom the land was given long before any foreigners arrived.
20 “The wicked writhe in pain throughout their lives. Years of trouble are stored up for the ruthless.
21 The sound of terror rings in their ears, and even on good days they fear the attack of the destroyer.
22 They dare not go out into the darkness for fear they will be murdered.
