Third Millennium Bible TMB
GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said:
1 Then Bildad from Shuah replied [to Job],
2 "Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.
2 "Authority and terror belong to God. He establishes peace in his high places.
3 Is there any number to His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?
3 Is there any [limit to the] number of his troops? Is there anyone on whom his light does not rise?
4 How then can man be justified before God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
4 How can a person be righteous to God? How can anyone born of a woman be pure?
5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in His sight.
5 Even the moon isn't bright, and the stars aren't pure in his sight.
6 How much less man, that is a worm? And the son of man, that is a worm?"
6 How much less pure is a mortal--who is only a maggot-- a descendant of Adam--who is only a worm!"
