Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous

25:1  Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2  "Dominion and fear are with God; [1]
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!"
