Job 4:12-21

EJ2000(i) 12 ¶ Now the matter was also hidden from me, but my ear has perceived a little of it. 13 In imaginations of visions of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, 14 fear came upon me and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. 15 Then a spirit passed before me which caused the hair of my flesh to stand up. 16 A ghost stood in front of me, whose face I did not recognize, and I heard it say, 17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his maker? 18 Behold, he put no trust in his slaves, and his angels he charged with folly. 19 How much more with those that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who shall be crushed by the moth! 20 They are destroyed from morning to evening; they perish for ever without anyone regarding it. 21 Does their beauty perish with them? They die and do not know.
