Job 4:14-21

14Dread and trembling came upon me, Which made all my bones shake.

15Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair on my skin stood on end!

16The spirit stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; A form was before my eyes; There was silence, and then I heard a voice, saying:

17‘Can [mortal] man be just before God or be more righteous than He? Can a man be pure before his Maker or be more cleansed than He?

18God puts no trust or confidence, even in His [heavenly] servants, And He charges His angels with error.

19How much more [will He blame and charge] those who dwell in houses (bodies) of clay, Whose foundations are in the dust, Who are crushed like a moth.

20Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces and destroyed; Unobserved and unnoticed, they perish forever.

21Is not their tent-cord drawn up within them [so that the tent collapses]? Do they not die, and yet without [acquiring] wisdom?’
