| 1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: | 1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: |
| 2“Dominion and fear are with God; he makes peace in his high heaven. | 2“God is powerful and dreadful. He enforces peace in the heavens. |
| 3Is there any number to his armies? Upon whom does his light not arise? | 3Who is able to count his heavenly army? Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth? |
| 4How then can man be in the right before God? How can he who is born of woman be pure? | 4How can a mortal be innocent before God? Can anyone born of a woman be pure? |
| 5Behold, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure in his eyes; | 5God is more glorious than the moon; he shines brighter than the stars. |
| 6how much less man, who is a maggot, and the son of man, who is a worm!” | 6In comparison, people are maggots; we mortals are mere worms.” |
