It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image [was] before mine eyes, [there was] silence, and I heard a voice, [saying], (4:16) Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? (4:17) Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: (4:18) How much less [in] them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation [is] in the dust, [which] are crushed before the moth? (4:19) They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding [it] (4:20) Doth not their excellency [which is] in them go away? they die, even without wisdom
(4:21)
