Bildad: Man Cannot Be Righteous

Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 

“ Dominion and awe belong to [God];

He establishes harmony in the heights of heaven.

3 

Can His troops be numbered?

On whom does His light not rise?

4 

How then can a man be just before God?

How can one born of woman be pure?

5 

If even the moon does not shine,

and the stars are not pure in His sight,

6 

how much less man, who is but a maggot,

and the son of man, who is but a worm!” 26
