18

Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:

19

How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

20

They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.

21

Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever. And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom. ”

If their tent-cord is pulled up, do they not come to an end, and without wisdom?”
