Job 4:19-21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ how much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
    whose foundation is in the dust,
    who are crushed before the moth.
²⁰ Between morning and evening they are destroyed;
    they perish for ever without any regarding it.
²¹ If their tent-cord is plucked up within them,
    do they not die, and that without wisdom?’
