1 Then Bildad the Shuhite made answer and said,

2 Rule and power are his; he makes peace in his high places.

3 Is it possible for his armies to be numbered? and on whom is not his light shining?

4 How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

5 See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:

6 How much less man who is an insect, and the son of man who is a worm!

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 Dominion and fear are with him;

He maketh peace in his high places.

3 Is there any number of his armies?

And upon whom doth not his light arise?

4 How then can man be just with God?

Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

5 Behold, even the moon hath no brightness,

And the stars are not pure in his sight:

6 How much less man, that is a worm!

And the son of man, that is a worm!
