Job 4:17-21
Legacy Standard Bible

17 ‘Can (A)mankind be right [a]before God?
Can a man be pure [b]before his (B)Maker?
18 (C)He puts no trust even in His slaves;
And against His angels He charges error.
19 How much more those who dwell in (D)houses of clay,
Whose (E)foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before the moth!
20 (F)Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces;
[c]Unobserved, they (G)perish forever.
21 Is not their (H)tent-cord pulled up within them?
They die, yet (I)without wisdom.’

Job 4:17-21
American Standard Version

17 Shall mortal man [a]be more just than God?
Shall a man [b]be more pure than his Maker?
18 Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants;
And his angels he chargeth with folly:
19 How much more them that dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed [c]before the moth!
20 [d]Betwixt morning and evening they are [e]destroyed:
They perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 [f]Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them?
They die, and that without wisdom.
