Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous

¹Then oBildad the Shuhite answered and said:

²“Dominion and fear are with God;1

he makes peace in his high heaven.

³Is there any number to his parmies?

Upon whom does his qlight not arise?

⁴How then can man be rin the right before God?

How can he who is sborn of woman be tpure?

⁵Behold, even the moon is not bright,

and the stars are not pure in his eyes;

⁶uhow much less man, who is va maggot,

and wthe son of man, who is a worm!”
