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.’

    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?’
