Job 4:17-21
New American Standard Bible
17 ‘Can (A)mankind be righteous [a]before God?
Can a man be pure [b]before his (B)Maker?
18 (C)He puts no trust even in His servants;
And He accuses His angels of error.
19 How much more those who live 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;
Unregarded, they (G)perish forever.
21 Is their (H)tent-cord not pulled out 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.
