Job 4:14-21

14Fear gripped me, and my bones trembled.

15A spirit swept past my face, and my hair stood on end.

16The spirit stopped, but I couldn’t see its shape. There was a form before my eyes. In the silence I heard a voice say,

17‘Can a mortal be innocent before God? Can anyone be pure before the Creator?’

18“If God does not trust his own angels and has charged his messengers with foolishness,

19how much less will he trust people made of clay! They are made of dust, crushed as easily as a moth.

20They are alive in the morning but dead by evening, gone forever without a trace.

21Their tent-cords are pulled and the tent collapses, and they die in ignorance.
