5 Behold, even the moon has no brightness,

and the stars are not pure in his sight;

6 How much less man, who is a worm,

and the son of man, who is a worm!"

4 How then can man be justified with God? Or how can he that is born of a woman be clean?

5 Behold, even the moon shall not shine, neither are the stars pure in his sight.

6 How much less man, [who is as] a worm, and the son of man, [who is also] a worm?:
