Job 4:12-21

12Now a word was secretly brought to me, and my ear caught a whisper of it.

13Amid unsettling visions in the night, when a deep sleep falls on men,

14dread and trembling seized me, and made my bones shake.

15Then a spirit brushed over my face, and the hair of my flesh stood on end.

16It stood still, but I could not recognize its appearance, A form was before my eyes and I heard a murmur, a voice:

17‘Can a mortal be righteous before God; or a man pure before his Creator?

18If He puts no trust in His servants and accuses His angels of error,

19how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?

20From morning until evening they are beaten into pieces— unnoticed, they perish forever.

21Is not their tent cord pulled out, so that they die without wisdom.’”
