Source: Nav
Job 4:18, 19
If God puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error, / how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!
Job 15:14
What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
Job 22:2–5
“Can a man be of use to God? Can even a wise man benefit Him? / Does it delight the Almighty that you are righteous? Does He profit if your ways are blameless? / Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?
Job 25:4–6
How then can a man be just before God? How can one born of woman be pure? / If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight, / how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
Job 35:2–8
“Do you think this is just? You say, ‘I am more righteous than God.’ / For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’ / I will reply to you and to your friends as well.
Job 38:4, 12, 13
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. / In your days, have you commanded the morning or assigned the dawn its place, / that it might spread to the ends of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?
Psalm 8:3, 4
When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place— / what is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

O LORD, what is man, that You regard him, the son of man that You think of him? / Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
