Job 4:15-21 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

15. Then a spirit passed before me,and the hair of my body stood on end.

16. It paused, but its likeness I could not recognize;a figure was before my eyes,in silence I heard a voice:

17. “Can anyone be more in the right than God?Can mortals be more blameless than their Maker?

18. Look, he puts no trust in his servants,and even with his messengers he finds fault.

19. How much more with those who dwell in houses of clay,whose foundation is in the dust,who are crushed more easily than a moth!

20. Morning or evening they may be shattered;unnoticed, they perish forever.

21. The pegs of their tent are plucked up;they die without knowing wisdom.”
