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 human be more right than God?Can a person be pure before his maker?
18. God does not trust his angels;he blames them for mistakes.
19. So he puts even more blame on people who live in clay houses,whose foundations are made of dust,who can be crushed like a moth.
20. Between dawn and sunset many people are broken to pieces;without being noticed, they die and are gone forever.
21. The ropes of their tents are pulled up,and they die without wisdom.’
