Bildad Says Man Is Inferior

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite (a)answered,
2
(A)Dominion and awe (b)belong to Him
Who establishes peace in (B)His heights.
3
“Is there any number to (C)His troops?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
4
“How then can a man be (D)just with God?
Or how can he be (E)clean who is born of woman?
5
“If even (F)the moon has no brightness
And the (G)stars are not pure in His sight,
6
How much less (H)man, that (I)maggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”
