1
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 Dominion and dread belong to Him, the One who establishes harmony in the heavens.
2
“Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
3 Can His troops be numbered? Does His light not shine on everyone?
3
Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?
4 How can a person be justified before God? How can one born of 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 does 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, who is a maggot, 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!”
