Job 4:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ how much more those who live in houses of clay,
    whose foundation is in the dust,
    who are crushed like a moth.^(A)
20 Between morning and evening they are destroyed;
    they perish forever without any regarding it.^(B)
21 Their tent cord is plucked up within them,
    and they die devoid of wisdom.’^(C)
