Job 4:17-21

New Living Translation

¹⁷ ‘Can a mortal be innocent before God?
    Can anyone be pure before the Creator?’

¹⁸ “If God does not trust his own angels
    and has charged his messengers with foolishness,
¹⁹ how much less will he trust people made of clay!
    They are made of dust, crushed as easily as a moth.
²⁰ They are alive in the morning but dead by evening,
    gone forever without a trace.
²¹ Their tent-cords are pulled and the tent collapses,
    and they die in ignorance.
