Job 4:12-21
12Now a word came to me secretly; my ears caught a whisper of it.13In disquieting visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on men,14fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shudder.15Then a spirit1 glided past my face, and the hair on my body bristled.16It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes, and I heard a whispering voice:
17‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God,or a man more pure than his Maker?18If God puts no trust in His servants,and He charges His angels with error,19how much more those who dwell in houses of clay,whose foundations are in the dust,who can be crushed like a moth!20They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk;unnoticed, they perish forever.21Are not their tent cords pulled up,so that they die without wisdom?’
