| 2"Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven. | 2Dominion and dread belong to him, the one who establishes harmony in his heights. |
| 3Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise? | 3Can his troops be numbered? Does his light not shine on everyone? |
| 4How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure? | 4How can a human be justified before God? How can one born of woman be pure? |
| 5If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes, | 5If even the moon does not shine and the stars are not pure in his sight, |
| 6how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot-- a human being, who is only a worm!" | 6how much less a human, who is a maggot, a son of man, who is a worm! |
