12  Now a thing was †secretly brought to me,

And mine ear received la little thereof.

13  In mthoughts from the visions of the night,

When ndeep sleep falleth on men,

14  Fear †came upon me, and otrembling,

Which made †all my bones to shake.

15  Then pa spirit passed before my face;

The hair of my flesh qstood up:

16  It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof:

rAn image was before mine eyes,

||There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

17  sShall mortal man be more just than God?

Shall a man be more pure than his maker?

18  Behold, he tput no trust in his servants;

||And his angels uhe charged with folly:

19  xHow much less in them that dwell in yhouses of clay,

Whose foundation is in zthe dust,

Which are crushed before athe moth?

20  bThey are †destroyed from morning to evening:

They perish for ever without any cregarding it.

21  dDoth not their excellency which is in them go away?

eThey die, even without wisdom.
