1 BILDAD THE SHUHITE REPLIED: 2 Rulership and awe belong to God. He establishes order in the heights of heaven. 3 Can his forces be numbered? Upon whom does his light not rise? 4 How then can a man be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure? 5 If even the moon is not bright and the stars are not pure in his eyes, 6 How much less man, who is but a maggot and a worm!
