The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
1 And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
1
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 Dominion and fear are with him; he 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 number of his troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
3
Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?
4 And how should man be just with God? Or how should he be clean that is born of a woman?
4
How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
5 Lo, even the moon is not bright; 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, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!
6
how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot— a human being, who is only a worm!”
