Job 4:18

Job 4:18

16 It stood still,
But I could not discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence;
Then I heard a voice saying:

17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?
Can a man be more pure than his Maker?

18 If He ^aputs no trust in His servants,
If He charges His angels with error,

19 How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before a moth?

20 ^aThey are broken in pieces from morning till evening;
They perish forever, with no one regarding.

21 Does not their own excellence go away?
They die, even without wisdom.’

John Wesley's Notes

<< Job 4:17

Job 4:19 >>

Servants - They are called his servants by way of eminency, that general name being here appropriated to the chief of the kind, to intimate that sovereign dominion which the great God hath over the angels, and much more over men. With folly - Without all doubt, this refers to those angels who foolishly and wickedly fell from God.
