Job 4:18
Compare all
16 It stood still,
But I could not discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence;
Then I heard a voice saying:
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?
Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
18 If He aputs no trust in His servants,
If He charges His angels with error, 
19 How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before a moth?
20 aThey are broken in pieces from morning till evening;
They perish forever, with no one regarding. 
21 Does not their own excellence go away?
They die, even without wisdom.’

Job 4:18-19

I want to hasten to assure you that he is not trying to discredit angels in any way. Rather, he is trying (in his way) to exalt God. What he is saying here is that, in comparison to the holiness of God, even the creatures (that is, angels) which are ethically and physically pure (or, seemingly the purest)—compared to God, they are impure.
