Job 4:16 - Job 5:4

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?
20 They are destroyed from morning to evening; they perish forever without any regarding it.
21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
