12. Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a whisper thereof.
13. In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14. Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15. Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.
16. It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; a form was before mine 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?
18. Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants; and his angels he chargeth with folly:
19. How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth!
20. Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
