In context

¹⁵Then a spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body bristled.

¹⁶It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes, and I heard a whispering voice:

¹⁷‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God, or a man more pure than his Maker?

¹⁸If God puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error,

¹⁹How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!
