- 4Your words have upheld the one who was falling, and you have strengthened feeble knees.
- 5But now it has come upon you, and you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled.
- 6Is not this your fear, your confidence, your hope, and the uprightness of your ways?
- 7Remember, I ask you, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the righteous cut off?
- 8Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same.
- 9By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils they are consumed.
- 10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
- 11The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the strong lion's cubs are scattered far and wide.
- 12Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a little of it.
- 13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
- 14fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
- 15Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.
- 16It stood still, but I could not discern its form. An image was before my 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?

- 19How much less those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?
- 20They are destroyed from morning to evening; they perish forever without any regarding it.
- 21Does not their greatness disappear? They die, even without wisdom.
