1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 ‘Dominion and awe belong to God;he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
3 Can his forces be numbered?On whom does his light not rise?
4 How then can a mortal be righteous before God?How can one born of woman be pure?
5 If even the moon is not brightand the stars are not pure in his eyes,
6 how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot –a human being, who is only a worm!’
