Bildad’s Third Speech

25 
Then[a] Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,[b]
2 “Domination and dread are with him

who makes peace in his high heavens.

3 Is there a number to his troops?

And upon whom does his light not rise?

4 “Indeed,[c] how can a human being be righteous before God?

And how will he who is born of a woman be pure?

5 Look, even the moon is not bright,[d]

and the stars are not pure in his sight.

6 How much less[e] for a human being who is a maggot,

and a human[f] who is a worm?”
