ESVEnglish Standard Version
‘Can mortal man be in the right before God?
Can a man be pure before his Maker?
Even in his servants he puts no trust,
and his angels he charges with error;
how much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed like the moth.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
“Can a mortal be righteous before God?
Can a man be more pure than his Maker?”
If God puts no trust in his servants
and he charges his angels with foolishness,
how much more those who dwell in clay houses,
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed like a moth!
Copyright 2017 Holman Bible Publishers
NLTNew Living Translation
‘Can a mortal be innocent before God?
Can anyone be pure before the Creator?’
“If God does not trust his own angels
and has charged his messengers with foolishness,
how much less will he trust people made of clay!
They are made of dust, crushed as easily as a moth.

‘Can a human being be more righteous than God,
or can a man be more pure than his Maker?
Look, he does not trust in his servants
and he charges his angels with error.
How much more dwellers in clay houses,
whose foundation is in the dust?
They are crushed like a moth.

KJV 1900King James Version
Shall mortal man be more just than God?
Shall a man be more pure than his maker?
Behold, he put no trust in his servants;
And his angels he charged with folly:
How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Which are crushed before the moth?
