Job 4:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ I could see something standing there;
    I stared, but couldn't tell what it was.
Then I heard a voice out of the silence:
¹⁷ “Can anyone be righteous in the sight of^[a] God
    or be pure before^[b] his Creator?
¹⁸ God does not trust his heavenly servants;
    he finds fault even with his angels.
