Job 4:17-21

The Voice

¹⁷     “Can a mortal stand innocent before God?
        Can a man or even a hero be pure before his Creator?”
¹⁸     If God is unsure of His own servants,
        and in His holy attendants He finds fault,
¹⁹     How much more those whose bodies come from clay,
        whose skeletons are dust, are crushed like a moth.
²⁰     From morning to evening, their bodies are broken to pieces,
        ground back into dirt, unseen, gone forever.
²¹     When the cords of their tents are pulled up,
        don’t they die, none the wiser?
