1Then Bildad from Shuah replied [to Job],

2"Authority and terror belong to God. He establishes peace in his high places.

3Is there any [limit to the] number of his troops? Is there anyone on whom his light does not rise?

4How can a person be righteous to God? How can anyone born of a woman be pure?

5Even the moon isn't bright, and the stars aren't pure in his sight.

6How much less pure is a mortal-who is only a maggot- a descendant of Adam-who is only a worm!"
