Bildad’s Third Speech
1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2“Dominion and awesome might belong to God;
he establishes peace in his heights.
3Can his armies be numbered?
On whom does his light not rise?
4How then can a human being be righteous before God?
How can one born of a woman be pure?
5If even the moon is not bright,
and the stars are not pure as far as he is concerned,
6how much less a mortal man, who is but a maggot –
a son of man, who is only a worm!”
