Job 4:17-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ “No human is righteous when he stands in front of God.
    He cannot be pure in front of his Maker.
¹⁸ God knows that even his angels make mistakes.
    They may do foolish things.
¹⁹ God used clay to make bodies for us who are humans.
    We came from the dust of the earth.
    We are as weak as moths.
²⁰ We are alive in the morning,
    and when evening comes we may be dead.
People disappear for ever.
    No one even knows about it.
²¹ They no longer have their valuable things.
    They suddenly die and they are still not wise.” ’
