16 There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice as it were of a gentle wind:

17 Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?

18 Behold they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:

19 How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?
