Verse in context — Job 4
15
Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16
It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image [was] before mine eyes, [there was] silence, and I heard a voice, [saying],
17
Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
19
How much less [in] them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation [is] in the dust, [which] are crushed before the moth?
