The third speech of Bildad

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied, 2 ‘God is King. He should be feared. He establishes peace in the highest parts of heaven. 3 Can anyone count his troops? Is there anyone his light doesn’t shine on? 4 How can human beings be right with God? How can mere people really be pure? 5 Even the moon isn’t bright and the stars aren’t pure in God’s eyes. 6 So how about human beings? They are like maggots. How about mere people? They are like worms.’

Bildad Speaks: Man Cannot Be Righteous

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: 2 “Dominion and fear are with God;* he makes peace in his high heaven. 3 Is there any number to his armies? Upon whom does his light not arise? 4 How then can man be in the right before God? How can he who is born of woman be pure? 5 Behold, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not pure in his eyes; 6 how much less man, who is a maggot, and the son of man, who is a worm!”
