"Think about how many people you have taught. Think about how you have made weak hands strong. Your words have comforted those who fell. And you have given strength to those who could not stand. And you are discouraged. Trouble hits you, and you are terrified. You should trust in your respect for God. You should have hope because you are innocent. Think about this now: A person who has not done wrong will not die. Honest people were never destroyed. I have noticed that people who plow evil and plant trouble harvest it. God's breath destroys them. The lions roar and growl. But the teeth of great lions are broken. The lion dies because he cant find an animal to eat. So the cubs of the female lion are scattered...........A spirit glided past my face. The hair on my body stood up in fear. The spirit stopped, but I could not see what it was. A shape stood before my eyes. And I heard a quiet voice. It said, 'Can a man be holy in the presence of God? Can a man be pure before the one who made him? God does not trust His servants. He even blames His angels for mistakes. So he puts even more blame on people who live in clay houses(possibly the body). The foundations of these houses are made of dust. They can be crushed more easily than a moth. Between down and sunset they are broken to pieces. They are not noticed. They die forever. The ropes of their tents are pulled up. And they die without wisdom.'" -Eliphaz from the Bible. Job chapter 4
