1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
2“Dominion and fear are with God;[#Job 9.4; 22.12; Rev 1.6; #25.2 Heb him]
he makes peace in his high heaven.
3Is there any number to his armies?[#Jas 1.17]
Upon whom does his light not arise?
4How then can a mortal be righteous before God?[#Job 4.17; 14.4; Ps 143.2]
How can one born of woman be pure?
5If even the moon is not bright[#Job 15.15; 31.26]
and the stars are not pure in his sight,
6how much less a mortal, who is a maggot,[#Job 7.17; Ps 22.6]
and a human being, who is a worm!”
