9. God’s breath destroys them,and a blast of his anger kills them.

10. Lions may roar and growl,but when the teeth of a strong lion are broken,

11. that lion dies of hunger.The cubs of the mother lion are scattered.

12. “A word was brought to me in secret,and my ears heard a whisper of it.

13. It was during a nightmarewhen people are in deep sleep.

14. I was trembling with fear;all my bones were shaking.

15. A spirit glided past my face,and the hair on my body stood on end.

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.
