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
Holman Christian Standard Bible

17 “Can a person be more righteous than God,
or a man more pure than his Maker?”(A)
18 If God puts no trust in His servants
and He charges His angels with foolishness,[a](B)
19 how much more those who dwell in clay houses,(C)
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed like a moth!
20 They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk;
they perish forever while no one notices.(D)
21 Are their tent cords not pulled up?
They die without wisdom.(E)
