1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2Authority and awe are with him who has established peace in his realm on high.
3His squadrons are without number; at whom will they not spring from ambush?
4How then can a mere mortal be justified in God's sight, or one born of woman be regarded as virtuous?
5If the circling moon is found wanting, and the stars are not innocent in his eyes,
6much more so man, who is but a maggot, mortal man, who is a worm.
