New Living Translation NLT
Common English Bible CEB
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1
Bildad from Shuah replied:
2 “God is powerful and dreadful. He enforces peace in the heavens.
2
Supreme power and awe belong to God; he establishes peace on his heights.
3 Who is able to count his heavenly army? Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth?
3
Can his troops be counted? On whom does his light not rise?
4 How can a mortal be innocent before God? Can anyone born of a woman be pure?
4
How can a person be innocent before God; one born of a woman be pure?
5 God is more glorious than the moon; he shines brighter than the stars.
5
If even the moon is not bright and the stars not pure in his eyes,
6 In comparison, people are maggots; we mortals are mere worms.”
6
how much less a human, a worm, a person's child, a grub.
