Bildad: How can man be righteous?

1
Then Baldad the Suhite answered by saying:
2
Power and terror are with him that makes a pact with those in high places.
3
Is there any limit to the number of his soldiers or to the number of those over whom his light rises?
4
Is it right for man to compare himself to God, or to appear pure though he is born of woman?
5
Behold, even the moon is not radiant, and the stars are not pure, in his sight.
6
Is man much more than rottenness and the son of man much more than worms?

Bildad: How can man be righteous?

1
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
2
Dominion and fear are with him. He makes peace in his high places.
3
Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?
4
How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?
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!”
