Job 4:18-21

Common English Bible

¹⁸ If he doesn’t trust his servants
        and levels a charge against his messengers,
¹⁹     how much less those who dwell in houses of clay,
        whose foundations are in dust,
        and who are crushed like a moth?
²⁰ They are smashed between morning and evening;
    they perish forever without anyone knowing.
²¹ Isn’t their tent cord pulled up?
    They die without wisdom.^[a]
