Context of Job 15:11
9What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, which is not in us? 10With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, Much elder than thy father. Are the consolations of God too small for thee, Even the word that is gentle toward thee? 12Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash, 13That against God thou turnest thy spirit, And lettest words go out of thy mouth?
