Bildad Speaks

1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2Dominion and dreada belong to him,

the one who establishes harmony in his heights.

3Can his troops be numbered?

Does his light not shine on everyone?

4How can a human be justified before God?a

How can one born of woman be pure?b

5If even the moon does not shine

and the stars are not pure in his sight,a

6how much less a human, who is a maggot,

a son of man,A who is a worm!a
