2 "God is very powerful; everyone should have an awesome respect for him;

he causes everything to be peaceful high up in heaven.

3 ◄Can anyone count the angels who are in his army in heaven?/No one can count the angels who are in his army in heaven.► [RHQ]

◄Is there any place where his light does not shine?/There is no place where his light does not shine.► [RHQ]

4 So, ◄how can God consider anyone to be righteous?/God certainly cannot consider anyone to be righteous.► [RHQ]

◄How can any human being be truly pure?/No human being can be truly pure.► [RHQ]

5 Consider this: God does not even consider the full moon to be bright,

and he does not consider the stars to be spotless.

6 So, ◄what about humans?/he does not consider humans to be important.► [RHQ]

They are as insignificant as [MET] maggots.

God does not think more highly of people than he thinks of worms."
