New International Version NIV
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 “God is powerful and dreadful. He enforces peace in the heavens.
2
“Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
3 Who is able to count his heavenly army? Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth?
3
Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?
4 How can a mortal be innocent before God? Can anyone 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 God is more glorious than the moon; he shines brighter than the stars.
5
If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,
6 In comparison, people are maggots; we mortals are mere worms.”
6
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot— a human being, who is only a worm!”
