New International Version NIV
1 Bildad from Shuah replied:
1
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 Supreme power and awe belong to God; he establishes peace on his heights.
2
“Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
3 Can his troops be counted? On whom does his light not rise?
3
Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?
4 How can a person be innocent before God; one born of a woman be pure?
4
How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
5 If even the moon is not bright and the stars not pure in his eyes,
5
If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,
6 how much less a human, a worm, a person's child, a grub.
6
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot— a human being, who is only a worm!”
