TRUST Job 15:15-16

"If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes, how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt, who drink up evil like water!" [Eliphaz]

If God places no trust in his holy ones 
Job 5:1  "Call if you will, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?" [Eliphaz]

if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes 
Job 4:18-19  "If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error, how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth!" [Eliphaz]

how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt 
Leviticus 5:2  " 'If anyone becomes aware that they are guilty--if they unwittingly touch anything ceremonially unclean (whether the carcass of an unclean animal, wild or domestic, or of any unclean creature that moves along the ground) and they are unaware that they have become unclean, but then they come to realize their guilt; ...' " [see verses 3-6 for further examples of unintentional sins]
 Psalm 14:1  The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.

who drink up evil

like water 
Job 12:4  "I have become a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God and he answered--a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!" [Job]
Job 34:7  "Is there anyone like Job, who drinks scorn like water?" [Elihu]
