Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
1 Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:
1
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.
2
“Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
3 Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?
3
Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?
4 Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?
4
How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
5 Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.
5
If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,
6 How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?
6
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot— a human being, who is only a worm!”
