1Then Bildad <01085> the Shuhite <07747> answered <06030>:
2“Dominion <04910> and awesome might <06343> belong to God; he establishes <06213> peace <07965> in his heights <04791>.
3Can <03426> his armies <01416> be numbered <04557>? On <05921> whom <04310> does his light <0216> not <03808> rise <06965>?
4How <04100> then can a human <0582> being be righteous <06663> before <05973> God <0410>? How <04100> can one born <03205> of a woman <0802> be pure <02135>?
5If <02005> even the moon <03394> is not <03808> bright <0166>, and the stars <03556> are not <03808> pure <02141> as far as he is concerned <05869>,
6how much less <0637> a mortal man <0582>, who is but a maggot <07415>– a son <01121> of man <0120>, who is only a worm <08438>!”
