1 Then *ch. 2:11Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

2 "Dominion and fear are with God;*25:2 Hebrew him

he makes peace in his high heaven.

3 Is there any number to his *ch. 19:12;Ps. 103:21armies?

Upon whom does his *Matt. 5:45;James 1:17light not arise?

4 How then can man be *ch. 4:17-19;9:2;15:14-16;Ps. 130:3;143:2in the right before God?

How can he who is *See ch. 14:1born of woman be *ch. 14:4pure?

5 Behold, even the moon is not bright,

and the stars are not pure in his eyes;

6 *ch. 9:14;15:16how much less man, who is *Ps. 22:6;Isa. 41:14a maggot,

and *ch. 35:8the son of man, who is a worm!"
