Job 4:12–21, “Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof. In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, 14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, 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? They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.”

Eliphaz said that he had a special vision from the Lord that frightened him as he slept. He said that a spirit asked him if any man could stand in righteousness before God. Could any man stand before God and be counted as a good man, in his own goodness? The spirit told him that God didn’t trust any man to be righteous and that no man was better than God. Every person would, one day, return to the earth and be recycled. No one, good or bad, will ever escape death so it is foolishness for a man to assume that he is righteous.
