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 more [with ] those that dwell in houses of clay , whose foundation [is ] in the dust , [who ] shall be crushed by the moth ! * They are destroyed from morning to evening ; they perish for ever without anyone regarding [it ]. * Does their beauty perish with them ? They die and do not know .:
