The Bible in Basic English BBE
Good News Translation GNT
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,
1
God is powerful; all must stand in awe of him;
2 Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.
2
he keeps his heavenly kingdom in peace.
3 Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?
3
Can anyone count the angels who serve him? Is there any place where God's light does not shine?
4 How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?
4
Can anyone be righteous or pure in God's sight?
5 See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:
5
In his eyes even the moon is not bright, or the stars pure.
6 How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!
6
Then what about a human being, that worm, that insect? What is a human life worth in God's eyes?
