Job 4:12-21

12Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.1 13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, 14Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.23 15Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: 16It stood still, but I could not discern its form: an image was before my eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,4 17Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? 18Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:5 19How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth? 20They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it .6 21Doth not their excellency which is in them depart? they die, even without wisdom.
