Job 4:12-17

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹² A word was brought to me in secret;
my ears caught a whisper of it.^(A)
13 Among unsettling thoughts from visions in the night,^(B)
when deep sleep^(C) comes over men,
¹⁴ fear and trembling came over me^(D)
and made all my bones shake.
¹⁵ I felt a draught^[a] on my face,
and the hair on my body stood up.
¹⁶ A figure stood there,
but I could not recognise its appearance;
a form loomed before my eyes.
I heard a whispering voice:
¹⁷ ‘Can a mortal be righteous before God?
Can a man be more pure than his Maker? ’^(E)
