Bildad: Man Cannot Be Righteous
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
3Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
4How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
5Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

Bildad: Man Cannot Be Righteous
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2 “Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
3 Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
4 How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
6 How much less man, who is a worm, the son of man, who is a worm!”
Bildad: Man Cannot Be Righteous
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 “Dominion and awe belong to God;
He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.
3 Can His troops be numbered?
On whom does His light not rise?
4 How then can a man be just before God?
How can one born of woman be pure?
5 If even the moon does not shine,
and the stars are not pure in His sight,
6 how much less man, who is but a maggot,
and the son of man, who is but a worm!”
Bildad: Man Cannot Be Righteous
1And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --
2The rule and fear are with Him, Making peace in His high places.
3Is their any number to His troops? And on whom ariseth not His light?
4And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure -- born of a woman?
5Lo -- unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes.
6How much less man -- a grub, And the son of man -- a worm!
