Context of Job 15:11
9What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand that we don’t? 10Both the old and the gray-haired are among us. They are older than your father. Isn’t God’s comfort enough for you, even when gently spoken to you? 12Why have your emotions carried you away? Why do your eyes flash 13when you turn against God and spit these words out of your mouth?
