1 Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

2 Dominion and dread, are with him, who causeth prosperity among his lofty ones;

3 Is there any number to his troops? And upon whom ariseth not his light?

4 How then shall, a mortal, be just with GOD? Or how shall he be pure who is born of a woman?

5 Look as far as the moon, and it is not clear, and, the stars, are not bright in his eyes!

6 How much less a mortal who is a creeping thing? Or a son of the earth-born who is a worm?
