Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous

 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

² “Dominion and fear are with God;^[a]
he makes peace in his high heaven.
³ Is there any number to his armies?
Upon whom does his light not arise?
⁴ How then can man be in the right before God?
How can he who is born of woman be pure?
⁵ Behold, even the moon is not bright,
and the stars are not pure in his eyes;
⁶ how much less man, who is a maggot,
and the son of man, who is a worm!”
