Job 4:12-21
12Now a wordH1697 came to meH413 secretlyH1589; my earsH241 caughtH3947 a whisperH8102 of itH4480.13In disquietingH5587 visionsH2384 in the nightH3915, when deep sleepH8639 fallsH5307 onH5921 menH582,14fearH6343 and tremblingH7461 came over meH7122 and made allH7230 my bonesH6106 shudderH6342.15Then a spiritH73071 glidedH2498 pastH5921 my faceH6440, and the hairH8185 on my bodyH1320 bristledH5568.16It stood stillH5975, but I could notH3808 discernH5234 its appearanceH4758; a formH8544 loomed beforeH5048 my eyesH5869, and I heardH8085 a whisperingH1827 voiceH6963:
17‘Can a mortalH582 be more righteousH6663 than GodH433,orH518 a manH1397 more pureH2891 than his MakerH6213?18IfH2005 God puts noH3808 trustH539 in His servantsH5650,and He chargesH7760 His angelsH4397 with errorH8417,19how much moreH637 those who dwellH7931 in housesH1004 of clayH2563,whoseH834 foundationsH3247 are in the dustH6083,who can be crushedH1792H6440 like a mothH6211!20They are smashed to piecesH3807 from dawnH1242 to duskH6153;unnoticedH1097H7760, they perishH6 foreverH5331.21Are not their tent cordsH3499 pulled upH5265,so that they dieH4191 withoutH3808 wisdomH2451?’
