The Darby Translation DBY
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1
And Bildad the Shuhite answered 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 troops? 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
And how should man be just with God? Or how should 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
Lo, even the moon is not bright; 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, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!
