Bible in Basic English
"How much more those living in houses of earth, whose bases are in the dust! They are crushed more quickly than an insect;"
— Job 4:19, Bible in Basic English
“How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!”
Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying:
May a man be upright before God? or a man be clean before his Maker?
Truly, he puts no faith in his servants, and he sees error in his angels;
How much more those living in houses of earth, whose bases are in the dust! They are crushed more quickly than an insect;
Between morning and evening they are completely broken; they come to an end for ever, and no one takes note.
If their tent-cord is pulled up, do they not come to an end, and without wisdom?
