Job 4:17-21
English Standard Version
Job 4:17-21
English Standard Version
17 (A)‘Can mortal man be in the right before[a] God?
Can a man be pure before his Maker?
18 Even in his servants (B)he puts no trust,
and his angels he charges with error;
19 how much more those who dwell in houses of (C)clay,
whose foundation is in (D)the dust,
who are crushed like[b] (E)the moth.
20 Between (F)morning and evening they are beaten to pieces;
they perish forever (G)without anyone regarding it.
21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them,
(H)do they not die, and that without wisdom?’

Job 4:17-21
New International Version
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?(A)
Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?(B)
18 If God places no trust in his servants,(C)
if he charges his angels with error,(D)
19 how much more those who live in houses of clay,(E)
whose foundations(F) are in the dust,(G)
who are crushed(H) more readily than a moth!(I)
20 Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces;
unnoticed, they perish forever.(J)
21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up,(K)
so that they die(L) without wisdom?’(M)
