Job 4:17-21

Modern English Version

¹⁷ ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?
    Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
¹⁸ He does not trust in His servants,
    and He charges His angels with error;
¹⁹ Even more, those who dwell in houses of clay,
    whose foundation is in the dust,
    who are crushed before the moth.
²⁰ They are broken in pieces from morning to evening;
    they perish forever without anyone regarding it.
²¹ Are not their tent ropes plucked up,
    so they die, even without wisdom?’
