16 It stopped,but I could not tell what it was.A form stood before my eyes,and I heard a hushed voice:
17 “Can a mortal be more righteous than God?Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?
18 If God places no trust in his servants,if he charges his angels with error,
19 how much more those who live in houses of clay,whose foundations are in the dust,who are crushed more readily than a moth!
20 Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces;unnoticed, they perish for ever.
21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up,so that they die without wisdom?”
