Good News Bible

Job 4:16-20 Good News Bible (GNB)

16. I could see something standing there;I stared, but couldn't tell what it was.Then I heard a voice out of the silence:

17. “Can anyone be righteous in the sight of Godor be pure before his Creator?

18. God does not trust his heavenly servants;he finds fault even with his angels.

19. Do you think he will trust a creature of clay,a thing of dust that can be crushed like a moth?

20. Someone may be alive in the morning,but die unnoticed before evening comes.
