1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
2
Dominion and fear are with him; He maketh peace in his high places.
3 Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise?
3
Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom doth not his light arise?
4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
4
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5 If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes,
5
Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, And the stars are not pure in his sight:
6 how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot— a human being, who is only a worm!”
6
How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm!
