וְרוּחַ עַל־פָּנַי יַחֲלֹף תְּסַמֵּר שַֽׂעֲרַת בְּשָׂרִֽי
Then a spirit passed before my face, That made the hair of my flesh to stand up.
יַעֲמֹד וְֽלֹא־אַכִּיר מַרְאֵהוּ תְּמוּנָה לְנֶגֶד עֵינָי דְּמָמָה וָקוֹל אֶשְׁמָֽע
It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; A form was before mine eyes; I heard a still voice:
הַֽאֱנוֹשׁ מֵאֱלוֹהַ יִצְדָּק אִם מֵעֹשֵׂהוּ יִטְהַר־גָּֽבֶר
’Shall mortal man be just before God? Shall a man be pure before his Maker?
הֵן בַּעֲבָדָיו לֹא יַאֲמִין וּבְמַלְאָכָיו יָשִׂים תָּהֳלָֽה
Behold, He putteth no trust in His servants, And His angels He chargeth with folly;
אַף שֹׁכְנֵי בָֽתֵּי־חֹמֶר אֲשֶׁר־בֶּעָפָר יְסוֹדָם יְדַכְּאוּם לִפְנֵי־עָֽשׁ
How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
