Job 4:12-21
12“Now a wordH1697 1was broughtH1589 to me stealthilyH1589, And my earH241 receivedH3947 a 2whisperH8102 of it.13Amid disquietingH8174 3thoughtsH8174 from the visionsH2384 of the nightH3915, When deepH8639 sleepH8639 fallsH5307 on menH376,14DreadH6343 cameH7122 upon me, and tremblingH7461, And made 4allH7230 my bonesH6106 shakeH6342.15Then a 5spiritH7307 passedH2498 by my faceH6440; The hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 bristledH5568 up.16It stoodH5975 stillH5975, but I could not discernH5234 its appearanceH4758; A formH8544 was beforeH5048 my eyesH5869; There was silenceH1827, then I heardH8085 a voiceH6963:17‘Can 6mankindH582 be justH6663 7beforeH4480 GodH433? Can a manH1397 be pureH2891 8beforeH4480 his 9MakerH6213?1810He putsH539 noH3808 trustH539 evenH2005 in His servantsH5650; And against His angelsH4397 He chargesH7760 errorH8417.19HowH637 muchH637 moreH637 those who dwellH7931 in 11housesH1004 of clayH2563, WhoseH834 12foundationH3247 is in the dustH6083, Who are crushedH1792 beforeH6440 the mothH6211!2013BetweenH4480 morningH1242 and eveningH6153 they are brokenH3807 in piecesH3807; UnobservedH1097H7760, they 14perishH6 foreverH5331.21Is not their 15tent-cordH3499 pluckedH5265 up within them? They dieH4191, yet 16withoutH3808 wisdomH2451.’
