Job 4:19
How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
KJV
quanto magis hi qui habitant domos luteas, qui terrenum habent fundamentum, consumentur velut a tinea ?
Vulgate
τοὺς δὲ κατοικοῦντας οἰκίας πηλίνας, ἐξ ὧν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πηλοῦ ἐσμεν, ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς σητὸς τρόπον.
LXX
How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!
