Bildad Says Man Is Inferior

      1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

2 “Dominion and awe belong to Him
          Who establishes peace in His heights.

3 “Is there any number to His troops?
          And upon whom does His light not rise?

4 “How then can a man be just with God?
          Or how can he be clean who is born of woman?

5 “If even the moon has no brightness
          And the stars are not pure in His sight,

6 How much less man, that maggot,
          And the son of man, that worm!”
