Job 15:14-16 King James Version (KJV)
14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
Job 15:14-16 Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
14 What is a mere human, that he should be pure,
or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 If God puts no trust in his holy ones
and the heavens are not pure in his sight,
16 how much less one who is revolting and corrupt,
who drinks injustice like water?

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
14 We are all sinful and without Christ we can not be pure, we are only pure when we receive Him because His blood from the cross covers our sins and we are pure and He purifies us as we grow in Him by His Spirit in us. We only have a right standing with God because of Jesus and grace and mercy and love we receive thru Him.
15 We can gain God’s trust, we couldn’t ever fool God and to think we can is very foolish on our part. Nothing has ever happened that surprised God or was something He didn’t have plans with; God’s plan was to fix sin by the cross of Jesus.
16 We are corrupt but our worth is defined by His love for us which was His own life the life of Jesus our perfect lamb.
