Bildad: How Can Man Be Righteous?

1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
  2“Dominion and fear belong to Him;
   He makes peace in His high places.
   3Is there any number to His armies?
   Upon whom does His light not rise?
   4How then can man be righteous before God?
   Or how can he be pure who is born of a woman?
   5If even the moon does not shine,
   And the stars are not pure in His sight,
   6How much less man, who isa maggot,
   And a son of man, who is a worm?”
