17. ‘Can a mortal be righteous before God; or a man pure before his Creator?
18. If He puts no trust in His servants and accuses His angels of error,
19. how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?
20. From morning until evening they are beaten into pieces— unnoticed, they perish forever.
21. Is not their tent cord pulled out, so that they die without wisdom.’”
