| 1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: | 1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied: |
| 2"Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven. | 2“God is powerful and dreadful. He enforces peace in the heavens. |
| 3Can his forces be numbered? On whom does his light not rise? | 3Who is able to count his heavenly army? Doesn’t his light shine on all the earth? |
| 4How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure? | 4How can a mortal be innocent before God? Can anyone born of a woman be pure? |
| 5If 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 a mortal, who is but a maggot-- a human being, who is only a worm!" | 6In comparison, people are maggots; we mortals are mere worms.” |
