Bildad: How can man be righteous?

1
Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and I said:
2
Power and terror are with him, who maketh peace in his high places.
3
Is there any numbering of his soldiers? and upon whom shall not his light arise?
4
Can man be justified compared with God, or he that is born of a woman appear clean?
5
Behold even the moon doth not shine, and the stars are not pure in his sight.
6
How much less man that is rottenness and the son of man who is a worm?

Bildad: How can man be righteous?

1
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2
Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
3
Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
4
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
5
Behold, even the moon has no brightness, and the stars are not pure in his sight;
6
How much less man, who is a worm, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
