25. Bildad Replies

¹ Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

    ² “Dominion and awe belong to God;
   he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
³ Can his forces be numbered?
   On whom does his light not rise?
⁴ How then can a mortal be righteous before God?
   How can one born of woman be pure?
⁵ If even the moon is not bright
   and the stars are not pure in his eyes,
⁶ how much less a mortal, who is but a maggot—
   a human being, who is only a worm!”
