Job 4:11-20 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

11. Like lions with nothing to kill and eat,they die, and all their children are scattered.

12. Once a message came quietly,so quietly I could hardly hear it.

13. Like a nightmare it disturbed my sleep.

14. I trembled and shuddered;my whole body shook with fear.

15. A light breeze touched my face,and my hair bristled with fright.

16. I could see something standing there;I stared, but couldn't tell what it was.Then I heard a voice out of the silence:

17. “Can anyone be righteous in the sight of Godor be pure before his Creator?

18. God does not trust his heavenly servants;he finds fault even with his angels.

19. Do you think he will trust a creature of clay,a thing of dust that can be crushed like a moth?

20. Someone may be alive in the morning,but die unnoticed before evening comes.
