13. It was during troublesome dreams in the nightwhen men are in deep sleep.
14. I was shaking with fear.All my bones were shaking.
15. A spirit glided past my face.The hair on my body stood up in fear.
16. The spirit stopped,but I could not see what it was.A shape stood before my eyes.And I heard a quiet voice.
17. It said, ‘Can a man be holy in the presence of God?Can a man be pure before the one who made him?
18. God does not trust his servants.He even blames his angels for mistakes.
19. So he puts even more blame on people who live in clay houses.The foundations of these houses are made of dust.They can be crushed more easily than a moth.
20. Between dawn and sunset they are broken to pieces.They are not noticed. They die and are gone forever.
21. The ropes of their tents are pulled up.And they die without wisdom.’
