Job 4:17-21

Lexham English Bible

¹⁷ ‘Can a human being be more righteous than God,
or can a man be more pure than his Maker?
¹⁸ Look, he does not trust in his servants
and he charges his angels with error.
¹⁹ How much more dwellers in clay houses,
whose foundation is in the dust?
They are crushed like a moth.
²⁰ Between morning and evening^[a] they are destroyed;
without anyone regarding it they perish forever.
²¹ Is not their tent cord pulled up within them?
They die, but^[b] not in^[c] wisdom.’
