Bildad Says Man Is Inferior
Then Bildad the Shuhite 1answered,
ADominion and awe 1belong to Him
Who establishes peace in BHis heights.
“Is there any number to AHis troops?
And upon whom does His light not rise?
How then can a man be Ajust with God?
Or how can he be Bclean who is born of woman?
If even Athe moon has no brightness
And the Bstars are not pure in His sight,
How much less Aman, that Bmaggot,
And the son of man, that worm!”
